Our Mission
Our mission is to promote mathematical literacy and responsible gambling through interactive education. We believe that understanding probability helps people make more informed decisions about lottery participation.
How Our Simulators Work
Our simulators use real lottery odds and mathematical probability to create accurate representations of lottery outcomes. When you run a simulation:
Real Odds
We use the exact same odds as the real lottery (e.g., 1 in 292,201,338 for US Powerball)
Time to Win
We calculate how many years of playing it would take to win
Cost Analysis
We show you what else you could buy with the same money
Comparisons
We provide engaging comparisons to help you understand the odds
