First we pick 1 num from 1-39. Suppose we want to pick x, which will be the same for all the draws, we have a probability of 1/39. For all subsequent draws we have a probability of 1/39. For the final draw we have a probability of 1/19. So entire probability P is
P = (1/39)^5 * (1/19) = 5.8334215798766383121485599387109 * 10^-10
or in short not very likely
