Remember permutation is when order does matter. So 12 people bought the raffle ticket and ONLY 6 people will get pick.
So, first person who gets pick can be anyone of the twelve people.
Second person who gets pick can be anyone of the eleven people.
And this goes on and on once you pick out the sixth person.
P = 12*11*10*9*8*7 = 665,280
You're welcome.

So wouldnt it be 12!/(6!(12-6)!)=924 It should be a combination not a permutation?
