In a lottery that let’s you choose numbers between 1-70 for the five “white” balls, and numbers between 1-25 for the sixth “mega” ball, if after being drawn the white balls are ordered from least to greatest, what is the probability of getting exactly the lowest two white balls?
For example, let’s say the winning numbers for the first five white balls when ordered from least to greatest is 1,2,3,4,5 and the sixth mega ball is 10. What is the probability of getting exactly the lowest two white balls 1 and 2 correct and no other numbers?
Note that this is different than the probability of getting any two numbers to match- this is the probability of getting the lowest two numbers to match.
