What is the probability of getting 6 numbers in a lottery of 40 numbers?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that a happy little question! The probability of getting all 6 numbers correct in a lottery of 40 numbers is quite small, but remember, it's all about enjoying the process of playing and not just the outcome. Keep a positive mindset and have fun with it, my friend!

Answer 2

Well, honey, the probability of getting 6 numbers right in a lottery of 40 numbers is about 1 in 3,838,380. So, you better start praying to the lottery gods if you want to see those numbers line up. Good luck, you're gonna need it!

Answer 3

Oh, dude, the probability of getting all 6 numbers correct in a lottery of 40 numbers is like winning the jackpot, literally! It's 1 in 3,838,380. So, you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning while being eaten by a shark than winning that lottery. Good luck with those odds!

Answer 4

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.
