If the six numbers match )in any order) the six different winning numbers drawn by the lottery, the player wins the grand prize which starts at 1 million. For each $1 bet, then player must pick two sets of six integers.

what is the probability of winning the grade prize?
what is the probability of getting no winning numbers?

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.
