Question

The lottery has determined that not enough people win so they are making it easier by having players pick from fewer numbers. As with all “pick numbers” lotteries, there are full winners and partial winners. To be a full winner, you need to pick 6 main numbers correctly out of 24, and you also have to pick one bonus number out of an additional 4.What are the odds of winning (i.e. 1 chance in XXXXX) for all of the following winning combinations:

Main - Correct Bonus

6                  Yes

6                  No

5                  Yes

5                  No

4                 Yes

3                  Yes

3                  No

2                 Yes

2                 No

1                 Yes

1                 No

0                 Yes

0                 No
