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)
5655 5453 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.
you could finally get some trim with that kinda money

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.
