The probability of winning a straight lottery of 6 numbers picked from 56 is 1 in 32,468,436.

The number of combinations of n things taken m at a time is (n!-m!)/m! so this is 56 * 55 * 54 * 53 * 52 * 51 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 = 32,468,436.

Whats the Probability of 8 numbers out of 37 not showing for 40 spins on a routlette wheel I need the probability not the percentage?

Spin the wheel. Out of 37 equally probable outcomes, only 29 will work. The probability that none of those 8 numbers will show in the first spin is 29/37. This has to happen on 40 consecutive spins, and each time the same calculation applies. (This is easier than problems where you "use up" the outcomes.) So the answer is (29/37)^40 where ^ means exponentiation. (29/37)^40 = (0.243243...)^40 My desktop calculator does "y^x" so it's easy. I get 0.000058593704065 For percentage move the decimal point two places to the right. For probability of hitting at least one of the 8 numbers in 40 spins, subtract this number from 1.
