Answer #1

Mega Millions Lottery :

The numbers picked for the prizes consist of 5 numbers picked at random from a pool of 70 numbers. Then a single number (the Mega Number) is picked from a second pool that has 25 numbers.

The total number of equally likely Mega Millions combinations is thus :

* 25

= 12,103,014 x 25

= 302,575,350

Powerball lottery

Now we need to select 5 white balls out of 69 balls and 1 red ball out of possible 26 balls.

The total number of equally likely Power ball combinations is thus :

= 11,238,513 * 26

= 292,201,338

Pick 4 lottery

Pick any four numbers (unique or not) out of a possible 10, in any order.

Therefore the number of combinations are : 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 10,000
