There are 47 possible numbers that can be chosen in a correct series of 5 drawn numbers plus one Mega number. How could a calculation or formula be applied to estimate these? With 47 possible numbers the combinations must be massive, but is there a way to check exactly how many 5 number combinations are possible using the 47 numbers?
Also, I would imagine that in order to calculate the odds, all the winning number series would have to be known, right or not? I would assume that it would be similar in poker, how many times a royal flush or 4 of a kind would turn up predictively
Any math whiz care to offer a formula to the problem?
