The Sad State Lottery requires you to select a sequence of three different numbers from 0 through 42. (Order is important.) You are a Winner if your sequence agrees with that in the drawing, and you are a Booby Prize Winner if your selection of numbers is correct, but in the wrong order. (Enter all probabilities as fractions.) What is the probability of being a Winner? What is the probability of being a Booby Prize Winner? What is the probability that you are either a Winner or a Booby Prize Winner?
