Here’s what I find interesting.: To get the five numbers to match (1-56, with each number drawn reducing numbers in “pot”) and then the final number (a number from 1-46) 56_55_54_53_52\*46 = 21,085,384,320. My math may be off on that though. Even just the first five numbers: 458,377,920. The billion and million numbers are the amount of tickets that need to be sold to have every possible combination. ---

If I won Id probably still keep my truck just so I could go to Walmart and other places and look like an average person and not have people begging me for money. I would buy a few new cars and some old ones and a house though. Not a big house because I wouldnt want to clean it and one single guy doesnt need a mansion. That being said I didnt even play. ---

That’s not correct. Its (5/56)_(4/55)_(3/54)_(2/53)_(1/52)\*(1/46)= 5.69114597e−9 Then 1/ 5.69114597e−9= 175711536 So, 1 in 175,711,536 Since americans have spent 1.5 billion on tickets, having all the combinations is easily covered. > [@Cops saying you smoke weed?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cops-saying-you-smoke-weed/48835/17): > > Here’s what I find interesting.: > > To get the five numbers to match (1-56, with each number drawn reducing numbers in “pot”) and then the final number (a number from 1-46) > 56_55_54_53_52\*46 > > = 21,085,384,320. > > My math may be off on that though. > > Even just the first five numbers: 458,377,920. > > The billion and million numbers are the amount of tickets that need to be sold to have every possible combination. ---
