   Odds against would the number of *unfavorable* outcomes (5970) to *favorable* outcomes (30)
   5970 : 30
   You can reduct this to:
   199 : 1
   Answer:
   Odds are 199 to 1 against
   *Unfavorable would be any of the other 5970 tickets getting picked. Favorable would be any of your 30 tickets getting picked.

   To find the odds, write it as a ratio: You have 30 of the 6000, which leaves 5970 tickets bought by others.
   30:5970
   Now divide both sides by 30 to simplify-
   Now the ratio is 1:199
   The odds of you winning the boat are one to one hundred ninety nine, so the odds against you are 199 to one.
