Five-Number Game Odds in Plain English

The real odds for every prize tier in a typical 5-of-39 game, and what Apollo AI can and cannot change about them.

Five-number games draw 5 numbers from a pool, commonly 1 to 39. Here is what the odds look like for each match level.

How Five-Number Odds Are Calculated for Apollo AI Players

There are 575,757 ways to choose 5 numbers from 39. Only one matches all five, so the top prize is 1 in 575,757. Smaller matches are far more common because many combinations share two, three or four numbers with the draw.
