49s Lotto Betting

49s Lotto draws occur twice a day, seven days a week at Paddy Power. All you need to do is select one to five numbers between 1-49. If your numbers match the ones drawn, you could win up to 150,000/1!

49s Lotto is a homegrown British lottery game that has been played since the 1990s. No prior knowledge is needed to participate, and due to the frequent draws, you have even more opportunities to win.

Join us as we explore how 49s Lotto works and the types of lotto available at Paddy Power. We will also walk you through making your first bet!

How Do 49s Lotto Odds Work?

Unlike traditional lotteries, 49s Lotto doesn’t have a communal prize pool. The odds are dynamic and are based on the amount of numbers you select. The more numbers you choose, the higher the odds you receive. This is because if you select just one number, you are far more likely to win than if you choose five numbers.

These are the typical odds for 49s Lotto:

· One Number — 6/1

· Two Numbers — 53/1

· Three Numbers — 650/1

· Four Numbers — 8,000/1

· Five Numbers — 150,000/1

49s Lotto odds reveal two critical pieces of information: your likelihood of winning and your potential prize. For example, if you choose three numbers and lock in 650/1 odds, that means for every £1 you wager, you will receive £650 in profit.

To determine your chance of winning, you must first convert the fractional odds into decimal odds and then divide one by the result. So, if you selected two numbers and received 53/1 odds, your implied probability is 1.8% (1/(53/1+1).
