The odds are 1 in 1,000 which are pretty good odds for a grand but it seems the lower tier prizes are harder to come by. You can see the odds on the lottery website.

Did anyone else notice how horrible the odds are on the $30 ticket? You would think to get people to play the odds would be better! Top prize is 1:6.3 million!

So odds, chances, and probability in lotteries are exactly the same. Incorrect. Odds, probability and chances are all different things. odds = chances for : chances against (or x to y) probability = chances for / total chances (or x in y) Using your example, probability of 1 in 10 or 1/10, can also be expressed as odds of 1 to 9 or 1:9.
