You have to specify how many numbers are drawn from how many possible. Colorado has 6 drawn from a possible 42, Florida has 6 from 53, Michigan has 6 from 47, and so on. These lottery types are usually denoted by n/N, that is "n drawn from N possible ones". So, for Colorado we have the notation 6/42, for Florida 6/53, and for Michigan 6/47.
Now, using our n/N notation, the possible combinations are calculated by
Combinations = N! / (n! * (N-n)!)
where ! is a sign for factorial.

The MegaMillions lottery has 102 balls and there are 175,711,536 combinations.
The California's SuperLottoPlus lottery has 74 balls and there are 41,416,353 combinations.
The more balls a lottery has, the more combinations it has.
