2 jackpot lottery results

What is the true value of yesterday's post Euromillions if adjusted for the probability?

As for yesterday's award (185 million euros, please see the full prize breakdown on the official national lottery web site), I tried to find the probability of winning the 5 numbers + 2 stars. The result I got on my scientific calculator was approximately 2.48 x 10 ^ -11 I took the total pot and divided by the probability and came to a less miserable than half a penny! Of couse, no jackpot estimate, but I'm not sure it would be a material difference. If you are good with statistics, please send your request double that and I'm sure you must have done something wrong because he did not expect the result will be that bad!

I that the probability of getting five numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 stars 1 to 11 which the (50 C 5) x (11 C 2) = [50! / (45! 5!)] [11! / (9! 2!)] = 2118760 x 55 = 116 531 800 1 / 116 531 800 = 8.58 * 10 ^ -9 Alleged prize of 160 million value of a ticket = 160 000 000 * (1 / 116 531 800) = 1.37
