- The Florida Lotto Saturday night drawing
used to work like this: There are 19 ping-
pong balls in a machine, each bearing a
number from 1 to 49. The machine randomly
spits out 6 ping-pong balls. If the numbers on
the ping-pong balls match the six numbers
that you chose, YOU WINI How many
different outcomes are possible?
Now, the Lotto works like this: there are 53
balls instead of 49. How many outcomes are
possible under this new scheme?
