Question 1094548: Megabucks is a lottery game played in Massachusetts with the following rules. A random
drawing of 6 numbers out of all 36 numbers (1 – 36) is made every Wednesday and every
Saturday. The game costs $1 to play, and to win a person must have the correct six
numbers drawn, regardless of their order (i.e., the person does not have to match the
order in which the numbers were drawn). The jackpot depends on the number of players
and is usually worth several million dollars. How many different groups of 6 numbers
can be drawn?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 36 choose 6 equals 36!/30!*6!=1,947,792 different combinations of numbers, irrespective as to the order in which they're drawn.
