Irish Lotto
Bucket Combination Distribution

The Irish Lotto requires a player to Pick 6 numbers out of a set of 45 white balls. If the player picks the same numbers as those that are drawn in the next drawing, the player wins the Jackpot prize.

While everyone says that every combination has an equal chance of winning, Lottery Power Picks and others, believe that certain combinations are more likely to occur than others.

The following Table summarize the occurances of the Lottery Ball Bucket Distribution of all Irish Lotto combinations for the white balls.

The Irish Lotto white balls are numbered 1 to 45. The player selects 5 of these numbers. The table below shows the probability of each of the balls falling within a decimal range: 0-9; 10-19; 20-29; 30-39; and 40-45.
