The odds you posted are wrong.

The correct odds for Lotto America are:

5 numbers + Star Ball 1 in 25,989,600

5 numbers 1 in 2,887,733.33

4 numbers + Star Ball 1 in 110,594.04

4 numbers 1 in 12,288.23

3 numbers + Star Ball 1 in 2,404.22

3 numbers 1 in 267.14

2 numbers + Star Ball 1 in 160.28

1 number + Star Ball 1 in 29.14

Star Ball only 1 in 16.94
