How it is worked out
A play's average payback is the sum, over every prize, of its chance times its amount. The table above does exactly that, line by line.
What this leaves out
- Tax: every figure is before any tax on winnings.
- Time: a prize paid in instalments counts at its full face value here.
- Your one play: an average says nothing about a single play. The chance of any prize is 1 in 6.62, so most plays win nothing.
