Grand prize: 1 / 40 choose 6 for one set of six numbers so 2*(1 / 40 choose 6) since you get to select two sets of six numbers with one entry.
No winning Numbers: 34 choose 6/ 40 choose 6 for one set of six numbers so (34 choose 6/40 choose 6)^2 since you get to select two sets of six numbers with one entry. |
