In a​ lottery, the top cash prize was ​$657 ​million, going to three lucky winners. Players pick five different numbers from 1 to 53 and one number from 1 to 43.

Answer:

1 chance in 123,396,455

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of permutations of 5 out of the 53 = 53*52*51*50*49 = 344362200

Number of permutations of 4 out of these 5 correct = 120

So number permuations for first 53  = 344362200/ 120 = 2869685

So for minimum prize there are 2869685 * 43 = 123396455 perms.
