Search asks whether EuroMillions is “easier” than Lotto. Easier only means a different sample space, not a forecast. EuroMillions draws 5 of 50 plus 2 stars of 12; Korea Lotto is C(45,6). powerball-vs-lotto6 and powerball-vs-mega-millions-odds are other URLs. Draws are random.
6/45 first prize is C(45,6)=8,145,060. EuroMillions first is C(50,5)×C(12,2), much larger. Do not memorise a slogan; see the boxes.
The two stars are a second urn. Not the Korean bonus-ball cell.
A larger jackpot often leaves the first-prize cell count unchanged. See rollover-does-not-raise-odds.
