Summary

The Raffle Win Probability Calculator gives you the exact mathematical odds of winning based on how many tickets you hold, how many are in the draw, and how many prizes are on offer. It computes both the per-draw chance and the cumulative probability of winning at least one prize when multiple prizes are awarded. All calculations run locally in your browser with no data sent anywhere.

How it works

  1. Enter your ticket count, total tickets, and number of prizes.
  2. The single-draw probability is your tickets divided by total tickets.
  3. The at-least-one-win probability uses the hypergeometric complement formula.
  4. Results are shown as a percentage, a ratio, and a 1-in-N fraction.
