<PRE><B>Question 88827</B>
A state lottery is designed so that a player chooses six numbers from 1-30 on one lottery ticket.  What is the probability that a player with 1 lottery ticket will win?  What is the probability of winning if 100 different tickets are purchased?
--------------------
Repetition is not allowed on lottery tickets, so there are 
30C6 = 593,775 different 6-number sets.
Prob of winning with 1 ticket = 1/593,775
Prob of winning with 100 tickets = 100/593,775 = 1/5938
