Annabel wanted to become an instant millionaire that's why she tried her luck with the lottery. She picked 6 numbers out of the possible 42. What is the probability that she'll win the jackppot?
--------------------
# of sets of six numbers in 42: 42C6 = 5245786
# of winning sets of six numbers: 1
-------------
Probability of winning the jackpot = 1/[42C6] = 0.00000019063...
