Answer: 0.00000565

Step-by-step explanation:

Required to win:

6 number match $10,000

5 number match $ 5,000

4 number match $ 1000

3 number match $ 5,00

2 number match $ 50

1 number match $ 10

Therefore, to win $10,000 ;

All 6 numbers must match

Number of right numbers = 6

Total numbers = 25

Since it is without replacement :

Probability = required outcomes / Total possible outcomes

P(First number match) = 6/25

P(second number match) = 5/24

P(third number match) = 4/23

P(fourth number match) = 3/22

P(fifth number match) = 2/21

P(sixth number match) = 1 / 20

Therefore, Probability of winning $10000 :

(6/25) * (5/24) * (4/23) * (3/22) * (2/21) * (1/20) = 720 / 127512000 = 0.0000056465

= 0.00000565
