In a lottery, the top cash prize was $615 million, going to three lucky winners. Players pick four different numbers from 1 t
o 59 and one number from 1 to 49 . A player wins a minimum award of $225 by correctly matching three numbers drawn from the white balls (1 through 59 ) and matching the number on the gold ball (1 through 49 ). What is the probability of winning the minimum award?
To find probability when all variables are known, you can just multiply the numbers you need. In this case we multiply 59 * 59 * 59 *49 since these are the balls we are picking from. We can find the chance of the top prize by multiplying all the numbers. 59 * 59 * 59 * 59 * 49
