    I need to calculate the probability of winning the Mega Million jackpot. First you must choose the correct 5 numbers between 1 and 56. I believe that solution is 56!/51! 5! or The probability of 1/3,819,816 The next step is, in a separate single drawing, choose the correct number between 1-46. So there is a 1/46 chance of picking that number. is the probability of choosing all numbers 1/3,819,816 x 1/46?
