In October 2015 the UK lottery changed from 49 balls to 59 balls. Which means the chance of choosing 6 correct numbers went from 1 in 13,983,816 to 1 in 45,057,474.

But the 45,057,474 number is wrong. Because of a new possible prize, not only can you possible win a never-ending supply of tickets, but the real jackpot odds are 1 in 40,665,099.
