You play a lottery where, every day, a set of 6 numbers is chosen out of {1, . . . , 45} and announced at 5PM. To play, before 5PM, you circle 6 distinct numbers on a form with the numbers 1, . . . , 45, and you turn in the form (and pay $1). You win only if you pick exactly 3 of the numbers announced at 5PM the day you turn in your form. What are your chances of winning?
