What event has a probability of 1?
An event which has a probablility of 1 is one that will definitely happen. Probabilities range between 0 and 1 (0% and 100%) with a probability of zero meaning it is impossible and a probability of one meaning that it is definite. i.e. winning the lottery if you never play has a probability of zero and winning the lottery if you know the correct numbers in advance has a probability of one.

What is the probability of 6 any numbers in lottery of 40 numbers?
Assuming there are six numbers drawn out of the set from 1 to 49, without replacement: There are 15 out of 49 of these numbers that are prime. So the probability would be (15 - 9)! / (49 - 43)! = (15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10) / (49 * 48 * 47 * 46 * 45 * 44) = (24325271111131) / (27335172111231471) = (5 * 13) / (8 * 3 * 7 * 23 * 47) = 65 / 181608

What is the probability of getting 6 numbers in a lottery of 40 numbers?
Think of watching the lottery draw. You have 6 numbers and there are 40 to draw from. On the first pick, you have a 6/40 chance of getting a match. If you're successful, then on the second pick you have a 5/39 chance on the next pick (because one number is gone from your card and the draw), and so on. Because all of the events are required to happen for you to get your 6 numbers, we multiply the individual probabilities together to get the overall probability. 6/40 x 5/39 x 4/38 x 3/37 x 2/36 x 1/35 = 1/3838380 So the chance of getting all six numbers is a little better than 1 in 4 million.

It doesn't really matter. The lottery won't look at past numbers to make them appear again, or to not make them appear again. Therefore, no matter how often a number - or a group of numbers - appeared in the past, that won't affect the probability of those numbers appearing on the next lottery.
