If the odds of winning a raffle are 2:229, what is the probability of winning?

You have 2 'ways' of winning the raffle and 229 'ways' to lose it. Probability here is expressed by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. Can you find the probability now? Post what you get! :)

2/229 * 100 = 0.9% Goodluck winning that ;)

NT, it's actually slightly worse than that even! It's 2/231 because as Jerry said, the denominator is the total number of all outcomes, not just the negative ones.
