Let’s say the person chooses those numbers randomly and in the same way they are drawn (e.g. no replacement so number 1 can only be chosen once for the white balls).

The black ball is there just to get the exact probability estimate for the Mega Millions lottery.

To answer your question it comes from the Mega Millions lottery which draws 5 white balls and 1 black ball. And I’m curious to know what is probability I get first two numbers right.
