You can put this solution on YOUR website! The numbers 1-67, chosen 5 at a time is represented by the expression 67 choose 5, or 9657648 possibilities. Multiply that by 15, for the super ball pick, and you get 144864720 total possible combinations of numbers. So, the probability of winning is 1 out of 144864720, or 0.000000006902992. ☺☺☺☺
