The probability you discover a winning numbers formula is zero, an absolute zero. If you buy all combinations and spend more than 40 million dollars then you will definitely win. Now you may share with one or more lucky winners then you loose, then you pay federal taxes, then you are a looser and in a hole. If the Jack pot is twice the more number of combinations then you definitely you win however, there may be other winners who will win also the jackpot and you will lose.
A mathematical formula does not exist. The best you can do is to reduce the pool of numbers to less than 47 and improve your odds but the chance of winning will not be 100% but higher than average with probability less than 100% because there may me be one number or more out of the group of number you have selected. You never can block a sneaky number.
For the mathematical puffs; what will be the probability of winning correctly 5 correct numbers out of reduced pool of 40 numbers instead of 47 total numbers?
30 numbers?
20 numbers?
10 numbers?
5 numbers? check the odd in the purchasing ticket.
Now the big headache is the mega or bonus number, ....... wild, wild, .... no handle on it.
Note: The California Super-lotto discussion applies to other types of lotteries.
Strategy: Devise to win 3 out of 5 numbers with enhanced probability. So if you play 5 games and win 3 numbers out of 5 you win say 8 to 11 dollars. Now you almost doubled your $5 and had a shot to win the Jackpot as well.
Improving the odds to pick lucky numbers may not depend on a probability mathematical formula but rather using a scheme.
