**What would the odds of winning be if there are 54 numbers instead of 53 with one winning ticket?**

To calculate the odds of winning with one winning ticket among 54 numbers, we can use the concept of probability. The probability of winning is simply the ratio of the number of winning outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

If there is one winning ticket and 54 numbers in total, the probability of winning is:

\[ \text{Probability of Winning} = \frac{\text{Number of Winning Tickets}}{\text{Total Number of Tickets}} = \frac{1}{54} \]

Therefore, the odds of winning are:

\[ \text{Odds of Winning} = \frac{1}{54} \]

This means that for every 54 tickets, one ticket is expected to be a winner.
