The top half of the panel has numbers 1 through 40.

You must choose 4 distinct numbers out of these, called the White Balls.

The bottome half has numbers 1 through 20.

You must choose 1 number out of these, called the Power-Ball.

Compute each of the following. Show the combinatorial derivation. Show each probabilty in the form 1/x where x is the nearest integer.

(a) Total number of distinct ways to play a ticket.

(b) Probability of winning the Jackpot. (Match all 4 White Balls, and the Power Ball.)
