Correct usage

The chances of winning the lottery are 1 in 100,000, that is 0.001%, while chances of winning the top prize of EuroMillions are 1 in 139,838,160



Is this sentence punctuated correctly?

It would work better with: which is 0.001%, while...


That in this context constitutes a complete sentence does it not?

001% , while chances of winning the top prize of EuroMillions are 1 in 139,838,160 I'd say the chance is , not the chances are. Is this sentence punctuated correctly? No, you need to end with a period.
