*Frequently Asked Question:
Why are the odds for winning the prize for matching 1 red ball out of 42 not 1 in 42?
Answer:
The answer to this common question is that you must match the red ball alone (i.e. as well as missing all of the five white balls) to win this particular prize. If you match the red ball and one or more white balls, you win some other prize, but not this prize.
