Lottery Probability

Full-page infographic about the probabilities of winning the Christmas Lottery jackpot compared to other lotteries and unlikely events.

Lottery Probability

Every Christmas, the same question: what are the odds of winning El Gordo? This full-page infographic compares the odds of Spain's Christmas Lottery with other lotteries and with events as improbable as they are unlikely.

The odds of winning the jackpot in the Christmas Lottery, compared against other lotteries and improbable events.

I designed the comparative probability scale as the piece's visual backbone, looking for examples that would surprise or amuse, so the statistic would be enjoyed, not just read.

The numbers speak for themselves: 85,000 to 1 of winning El Gordo in the Christmas Lottery, versus 1 in 76,275,360 for the Euromillón.
