You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a pick 6 lottery game, ten balls labeled zero through nine are placed in a jar and selected one at a time, without replacement. To win, you must match all six in any order. How many possible sets of six numbers are there?
-------------------------
How many groups of 6 are there?: 10C6 = 210
How many of those will win the lottery? one
What is the probability of picking that one set? 1/210 = 0.004762
