Since it doesn't matter what the first six digits are, we can ignore those. There's a 1 in 10 chance that the 7th digit will be the same (since there are 10 possible digits). There is also a 1 in 10 chance for each individual digit after that. So, we just multiply:
1/10 * 1/10 * 1/10 *1/10 = 1/10000

The chances are 1 in 10,000. That's pretty small, but to be frank, not as small as I would have guessed without doing the calculations.
