You can put this solution on YOUR website! In one lottery, a player wins the jackpot by matching all five numbers drawn from white balls (1 through 43)and matching the number on the gold ball (1 through 35).
What is the probability of winning the jackpot?
----------
For the 5 of 43:
43*42*41*41*39 (there's no repetition)
= 115511760
--
But the order doesn't matter.
ABCDE is the same as BECAD
--> 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
---
115511760/120 = 962598
======================
The gold ball is 1 of 35
962598*35 = 33690930
------
1 chance out of 33,690,930
