Winning the jackpot in a particular lottery requires that you select the correct two numbers 
between 1 and 60 and, in a separate drawing, you must also select the correct single number 
between 1 and 37. Find the probability of wining the jackpot

60 numbers selected 2 at a time equals 60 choose 2, or {{{60!/(58!*2!)}}} = {{{(60*59)/2}}} = 1770.

1770 x 37 = 65,490.


The probability of winning the jackpot is 1 in 65,400.
