In a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 48. If 4 of those 6 numbers match those drawn, the player wins third prize. What is the probability of winning this prize? hints; The "favorable outcome" is to get 4 winning numbers and 2 non-winning numbers. How many ways can we get 4 winning numbers out of the 6 possible numbers? How many ways can we get 2 non-winning numbers out of all of the non-winning numbers?...

In a lottery game, the jackpot is won by selecting five different whole numbers from 1 through 38 and getting the same five numbers (in any order) that are later drawn. In the Pick 4 game, you win a straight bet by selecting four digits (with repetition allowed), each one from 0 to 9, and getting the same four digits in the exact order they are later drawn. The Pick 4 game returns $5 comma 000 for a winning $1...
