Answer to Question #40882 in Statistics and Probability for BillHaas

Question

I believe the the posted odds of the new Missouri Lottery $250,000 game (4 numbers between 1-60) are wrong; they say odds of winning the big one are 488,000 to 1; but picking 4 numbers out of 60 I believe are 60x60x60x60/4x3x2x1: the odds of picking 4 numbers out of 60 divided by the ways the 4 numbers can come up, =540,000. back to you Missouri Lottery.
