Dear teachers

Which ones of these sentences are grammatically right and/or spoken?


  1. What are the odds of I winning the lottery this year?
  2. What are the odds of me winning the lottery this year?
  3. What are the odds of I win the lottery this year?
  4. What are the odds of my winning the lottery this year?
  5. What are the chances that I have to win the lottery this year?

To be honest, though I sympathise with sentence 2, I like sentence 5 better, the rest is a bit odd to me.

Thank you

2 & 4 are OK. 1 & 3 are not. I wouldn't use 5, but can imagine that some would. (IMO)
