A given state has a wonderball lottery where you pick 6 numbers from 1-51.
P(get correct numbers) = 1/51C6
------------------------
Then out of 12 numbers you pick the wonderball number
P(get correct number) = 1/12
-------------------------------------
What is the probability of winning the Wonderball lottery? Show work
P(win) = (1/51C6)*(1/12) = 0.000000004627
------
Save your money; you'll be way ahead.
