Assuming the last ball is from a group of 40, and the first 5 are selected without replacement:
for 1 ticket P = 1/ (40x(40x39x38x37x36)/(1x2x3x4x5)) = (39x38x37x36) = 1/78,960,960
Assuming none of the 10 are repeats
your ans is 10 x 1/78,960,960 = 1/7,896,096
rounding you have 1 chance in 8 million to win.

What is the probability of drawing an even numbered card from a deck?
5/13
If a card is drawn from a deck numbered 1 through 10 and a die is rolled what is the probability of drawing a 10 and a 3?
The probability of drawing the 10 is 1/10 and the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6. So, the probability of both is 1/10 * 1/6 = 1/60.
What is the probability of drawing an ace from a pinochle deck?
A pinochle deck consists of 48 cards. Eight of these cards are aces (2 aces per suit * 4 suits = 8 aces). So, for a random drawing from a complete pinochle deck, the probability of drawing an ace is 8/48 = 1/6.
What is the probability of drawing a heart or club from a pack of cards?
Probability of drawing a heart: 1/4 Probability of drawing a club: 1/4 Probability of drawing a heart or a club: 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2
What is the probability of drawing an ace or a diamond?
In a standard 52 card deck, the probability of drawing an ace is 1/13, and the probability of drawing a diamond is 1/4. The probability of drawing both an ace and a diamond is 1/52.Thus the probability of drawing an ace or a diamond is1/13 + 1/4 - 1/52 = 4/13 or about .308.
In a standard deck of 52 playing cards what is the probability of not drawing an ace on one draw?
Probability of not drawing an ace equals one minus the probability of drawing an ace. The probability of drawing an ace is 4/52 or 1/13. So the probability of not drawing an ace on one draw is 1 - 1/13 or 12/13 or 0.9231 (92.31%).
What is the probability of drawing a 9?
The answer depends on drawing a 9 from WHAT!
What is the probability of drawing 3 cards that are all face cards?
The probability of drawing the first face card is 12 in 52. The probability of drawing the second is 11 in 51. The probability of drawing the third is 10 in 50. Thus, the probability of drawing three face cards is (12 in 52) times (11 in 51) times (10 in 50) or (1320 in 132600) or about 0.009955.
What is the difference between the probability of drawing a 5 and the probability of drawing a 2?
For a normal deck of cards, the answer is none.
What is the probability of drawing a seven of spades?
Probability of drawing a seven of spades, from a 52 card deck, is 1/52.
What is the probability of drawing a jack or queen or king?
The probability of drawing a jack is, P(J) = 1/13.The probability of drawing a queen is, P(Q) = 1/13.The probability of drawing a king is, P(K) = 1/13.The probability of drawing a jack or drawing a queen or drawing a king is;P(J or Q or K) = 1/13 + 1/13 + 1/13 = 3/13 = 0.23076923... ≈ 23.1%.
