What is the probability of winning the jackpot if you have to match 5 numbers from 1 to 41, and then match one gold ball with the options of numbers being 1 through 31?
Picking 5 numbers from 41 can be done in C(41,5) = 749,398 ways
And choosing another number from 31 can be done in 31 ways.....so....
749,398 x 31 = 23,231,338 ways
So 1 / 23,231,338 = 0.0000000430453037 = 0.00000430453037% chance of winning on one ticket.....not too good, is it ???
