Problem 8

A lottery draws 55 numbers without replacement from the integers 1601–60 and independently draws a separate bonus number from the integers 1401–40. A player picks one set of five numbers and one bonus number. What is the probability that a single ticket matches all six drawn numbers (the five main numbers and the bonus)?
