Choosing 6 from 49[edit]
In a typical 6/49 game, each player chooses six non-duplicate numbers from a range of 1-49. If the six numbers on a ticket match the numbers drawn by the lottery, the ticket holder is a jackpot winner—regardless of the order of the numbers. The probability of this happening is 1 in 13,983,816.
The chance of winning can be demonstrated as follows : The first number drawn has a 1 in 49 chance of matching . When the draw comes to the second number, there are now only 48 balls left in the bag (because the balls already drawn are not returned to the bag) so there is now a 1 in 48 chance of predicting this number.
Thus for each of the 49 ways of choosing the first number there are 48 different ways of choosing the second. This means that the probability of correctly predicting 2 numbers drawn from 49 in the correct order is calculated as 1 in 49 × 48. On drawing the third number there are only 47 ways of choosing the number; but of course we could have arrived at this point in any of 49 × 48 ways, so the chances of correctly predicting 3 numbers drawn from 49, again in the correct order, is 1 in 49 × 48 × 47. This continues until the sixth number has been drawn, giving the final calculation, 49 × 48 × 47 × 46 × 45 × 44, which can also be written as 49 ! ( 49 − 6 ) ! {\displaystyle {49! \over (49-6)!}} or 49 factorial divided by 43 factorial. This works out to 10,068,347,520, which is much bigger than the ~14 million stated above.
However; the order of the 6 numbers is not significant. That is, if a ticket has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, it wins as long as all the numbers 1 through 6 are drawn, no matter what order they come out in. Accordingly, given any set of 6 numbers, there are 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 6! or 720 orders in which they could be drawn. Dividing 10,068,347,520 by 720 gives 13,983,816, also written as 49 ! 6 ! ∗ ( 49 − 6 ) ! {\displaystyle {49! \over 6!*(49-6)!}} , or more generally as
( n k ) = n ! k ! ( n − k ) ! {\displaystyle {n \choose k}={n! \over k!(n-k)!}} , where n is the number of alternatives and k is the number of choices.
This function is called the combination function; in Microsoft Excel, this function is implemented as COMBIN(n, k). For example, COMBIN(49, 6) (the calculation shown above), would return 13,983,816. For the rest of this article, we will use the notation ( n k ) {\displaystyle {n \choose k}} . "Combination" means the group of numbers selected, irrespective of the order in which they are drawn.
An alternative method of calculating the odds is to note that the probability of the first ball corresponding to one of the six chosen is 6/49; the probability of the second ball corresponding to one of the remaining five chosen is 5/48; and so on. This yields a final formula of
( n k ) = ( 49 6 ) = 49 6 ∗ 48 5 ∗ 47 4 ∗ 46 3 ∗ 45 2 ∗ 44 1 {\displaystyle {n \choose k}={49 \choose 6}={49 \over 6}*{48 \over 5}*{47 \over 4}*{46 \over 3}*{45 \over 2}*{44 \over 1}}
The range of possible combinations for a given lottery can be referred to as the "number space". "Coverage" is the percentage of a lottery's number space that is in play for a given drawing.
Odds of getting other possibilities in choosing 6 from 49[edit]
One must divide the number of combinations producing the given result by the total number of possible combinations (for example, ( 49 6 ) = 13 , 983 , 816 {\displaystyle {49 \choose 6}=13,983,816} ). The numerator equates to the number of ways to select the winning numbers multiplied by the number of ways to select the losing numbers.
For a score of n (for example, if 3 choices match three of the 6 balls drawn, then n = 3), ( 6 n ) {\displaystyle {6 \choose n}} describes the odds of selecting n winning numbers from the 6 winning numbers. This means that there are 6 - n losing numbers, which are chosen from the 43 losing numbers in ( 43 6 − n ) {\displaystyle {43 \choose 6-n}} ways. The total number of combinations giving that result is, as stated above, the first number multiplied by the second. The expression is therefore ( 6 n ) ( 43 6 − n ) ( 49 6 ) {\displaystyle {6 \choose n}{43 \choose 6-n} \over {49 \choose 6}} .
This can be written in a general form for all lotteries as: ( K B ) ( N − K K − B ) ( N K ) {\displaystyle {K \choose B}{N-K \choose K-B} \over {N \choose K}} , where N {\displaystyle N} is the number of balls in lottery, K {\displaystyle K} is the number of balls in a single ticket, and B {\displaystyle B} is the number of matching balls for a winning ticket.
The generalisation of this formula is called the hypergeometric distribution.
This gives the following results:

Pick8-32 odds and calculations[edit]
The Pick8-32 Lottery game by Trillion Coins[2] implements a lotto game ticket where 8 numbers from 01 to 32 are selected in any order and can be repeated. The odds of a play ticket matching all 8 numbers is simple to calculate and is illustrated by the following math.
8 32 ∗ 7 32 ∗ 6 32 ∗ 5 32 ∗ 4 32 ∗ 3 32 ∗ 2 32 ∗ 1 32 = 40320 1099511627776 {\displaystyle {8 \over 32}*{7 \over 32}*{6 \over 32}*{5 \over 32}*{4 \over 32}*{3 \over 32}*{2 \over 32}*{1 \over 32}={40320 \over 1099511627776}}
Which means there is a 1 in 27,269,633 chance of matching all 8 numbers. The Trillion Coins lottery is a pay-out-on-every-drawing lotto game. The odds are dependent on the total number of tickets that are played. The player who matches the most of the picked numbers wins.
Powerballs And Bonus Balls[edit]
Many lotteries have a powerball (or "bonus ball"). If the powerball is drawn from a pool of numbers different from the main lottery, the odds are multiplied by the number of powerballs. For example, in the 6 from 49 lottery, given 10 powerball numbers, then the odds of getting a score of 3 and the powerball would be 1 in 56.66 × 10, or 566.6 (the probability would be divided by 10, to give an exact value of 8815/4994220). Another example of such a game is Mega Millions, albeit with different jackpot odds.
Where more than 1 powerball is drawn from a separate pool of balls to the main lottery (for example, in the EuroMillions game), the odds of the different possible powerball matching scores are calculated using the method shown in the "other scores" section above (in other words, the powerballs are like a mini-lottery in their own right), and then multiplied by the odds of achieving the required main-lottery score.
If the powerball is drawn from the same pool of numbers as the main lottery, then, for a given target score, the number of winning combinations includes the powerball. For games based on the Canadian lottery (such as the lottery of the United Kingdom), after the 6 main balls are drawn, an extra ball is drawn from the same pool of balls, and this becomes the powerball (or "bonus ball"). An extra prize is given for matching 5 balls and the bonus ball. As described in the "other scores" section above, the number of ways one can obtain a score of 5 from a single ticket is ( 6 5 ) ( 43 1 ) {\displaystyle {6 \choose 5}{43 \choose 1}} or 258. Since the number of remaining balls is 43, and the ticket has 1 unmatched number remaining, 1/43 of these 258 combinations will match the next ball drawn (the powerball), leaving 258/43 = 6 ways of achieving it. Therefore, the odds of getting a score of 5 and the powerball are 6 ( 49 6 ) {\displaystyle {6} \over {49 \choose 6}} = 1 in 2,330,636.
Of the 258 combinations that match 5 of the main 6 balls, in 42/43 of them the remaining number will not match the powerball, giving odds of 258 ⋅ 42 43 ( 49 6 ) {\displaystyle {258\cdot {{42} \over {43}}} \over {49 \choose 6}} = 3/166,474 (approximately 55,491.33) for obtaining a score of 5 without matching the powerball.
Using the same principle, the odds of getting a score of 2 and the powerball are ( 6 2 ) ( 43 4 ) {\displaystyle {6 \choose 2}{43 \choose 4}} = 1,851,150 for the score of 2 multiplied by the probability of one of the remaining four numbers matching the bonus ball, which is 4/43. Since 1,851,150 × (4/43) = 172,200, the probability of obtaining the score of 2 and the bonus ball is 172 , 200 ( 49 6 ) {\displaystyle {172,200} \over {49 \choose 6}} = 1025/83237. This gives approximate decimal odds of 1 in 81.2.
The general formula for B {\displaystyle B} matching balls in a N {\displaystyle N} choose K {\displaystyle K} lottery with one bonus ball from the N {\displaystyle N} pool of balls is: K − B N − K ( K B ) ( N − K K − B ) ( N K ) {\displaystyle {K-B \over N-K}{K \choose B}{N-K \choose K-B} \over {N \choose K}}
The general formula for B {\displaystyle B} matching balls in a N {\displaystyle N} choose K {\displaystyle K} lottery with zero bonus ball from the N {\displaystyle N} pool of balls is: N − K − K + B N − K ( K B ) ( N − K K − B ) ( N K ) {\displaystyle {N-K-K+B \over N-K}{K \choose B}{N-K \choose K-B} \over {N \choose K}}
The general formula for B {\displaystyle B} matching balls in a N {\displaystyle N} choose K {\displaystyle K} lottery with one bonus ball from a separate pool of P {\displaystyle P} balls is: 1 P ( K B ) ( N − K K − B ) ( N K ) {\displaystyle {1 \over P}{K \choose B}{N-K \choose K-B} \over {N \choose K}}
The general formula for B {\displaystyle B} matching balls in a N {\displaystyle N} choose K {\displaystyle K} lottery with no bonus ball from a separate pool of P {\displaystyle P} balls is: P − 1 P ( K B ) ( N − K K − B ) ( N K ) {\displaystyle {P-1 \over P}{K \choose B}{N-K \choose K-B} \over {N \choose K}}
Minimum number of tickets for a match[edit]
It is a hard (and often open) problem to calculate the minimum number of tickets one needs to purchase to guarantee that at least one of these tickets matches at least 2 numbers. In the 5-from-90 lotto, the minimum number of tickets that can guarantee a ticket with at least 2 matches is 100.[3]

Switched at Birth is an American teen/family drama television series that premiered on ABC Family on June 6, 2011, at 9:00 ET/PT.[1] The one-hour scripted drama is set in the Kansas City metropolitan area, and revolves around two teenagers who were switched at birth and grew up in very different environments: one in an affluent suburb, and the other in working-class areas. According to ABC Family, it is "the first mainstream television series to have multiple deaf and hard-of-hearing series regulars and scenes shot entirely in American Sign Language (ASL)".[2]
The show's debut was ABC Family's highest-rated series debut to date.[3] The series won an honorary Peabody Award in 2013, and on July 30, ABC Family ordered a third season which premiered on January 13, 2014.[4] On August 13, 2014, ABC Family renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on January 6, 2015.[5][6]
On October 21, 2015, ABC Family (now rebranded as Freeform) confirmed the series had been renewed for its fifth season,[7] which was later confirmed to be the final season.[8] On March 19, 2016, it was announced that the fifth season was bumped from a March 2016 to a January 2017 premiere date.[9] In October 2016, the network announced that the final season would premiere on January 31, 2017.[10]

Main article: List of Switched at Birth episodes
Bay Madeline Kennish, a teenage girl from the wealthy Kansas City suburb of Mission Hills, Kansas, discovers from a school lab assignment that her AB blood type is incompatible with her type A/O parents John and Kathryn. Genetic testing confirms Bay is not the Kennishes' biological daughter. She uses the phrase "real parents," but is informed that "biological" is the preferred term. It is revealed that the hospital mistakenly switched Bay (who was actually born Daphne Paloma Vasquez) with the Kennishes' newborn daughter, who is raised by her single mother Regina and grandmother Adriana in the low-income neighborhood of East Riverside, Missouri. Daphne is deaf, having lost her hearing as a result of contracting meningitis at age three. The Kennishes invite Daphne and Regina to their home, and after learning that Regina is struggling financially, propose that they move into their guest house with Adriana, an offer that Regina accepts.
This forces the girls, along with both families, to understand their differences and embrace their similarities. The girls sometimes struggle with their identities, as Bay discovers she has inherited her artistic talent from Regina, and Daphne discovers she has inherited John's athletic skill and Kathryn's love of cooking. Both mothers learn to bond with their biological daughters, while often unintentionally angering their legal ones. John learns to relate to his new-found daughter by coaching her deaf school's basketball team and employing her in the office of one of the local chain of car washes that he owns. Bay is driven by a need to find her biological father Angelo Sorrento, who left Regina shortly after Daphne went deaf. That causes a bond between her and Emmett that later becomes an intense romance.

Cast[edit]
Main article: List of Switched at Birth characters
Main characters[edit]
Constance Marie, Katie Leclerc, Vanessa Marano, Lea Thompson, D.W. Moffett, and Lucas Grabeel
Gilles Marini and Sean Berdy
Sean Berdy as Emmett Bledsoe (regular season 1–4, recurring season 5), Daphne's best friend who is also deaf. He later dates Bay.
Lucas Grabeel as Toby Kennish: Bay and Daphne's older brother.
Katie Leclerc as Daphne Paloma Vasquez (born Bay Madeline Kennish): the biological daughter of John and Kathryn Kennish. Hard of hearing rather than deaf, Leclerc learned ASL at age 17, before she was diagnosed at age 20 with Ménière's disease which runs in her family. She developed a deaf accent for her role as Daphne, but speaks without it briefly in a scene in season 1, episode 9 where Daphne dreams the switch never occurred, and she was raised as Bay Kennish and retains her hearing. She also speaks without the accent through almost the entire episode 15 of season 2, "Ecce Mono", which is an alternative reality in which Daphne was raised by the Kennishes from age three and got a cochlear implant.
Vanessa Marano as Bay Madeline Kennish (born Daphne Paloma Vasquez): the biological daughter of Regina Vasquez and Angelo Sorrento. She was raised in the wealthy neighborhood of Mission Hills by John and Kathryn Kennish. Bay is a very talented artist who has a particular love for Frida Kahlo. Bay can be very impulsive at times, and, at first, doesn't take the news of the switch very easily. However, she gradually gets better in accepting that Regina and the Kennishes are both her family.
Constance Marie as Regina Vasquez: Bay's biological mother and Daphne's legal mother.
D. W. Moffett as John Kennish: Bay's legal father and Daphne's biological father.
Lea Thompson as Kathryn Kennish: Bay's legal mother and Daphne's biological mother.
Gilles Marini as Angelo Sorrento (recurring season 1, regular season 2–3):[11] Bay's biological father and Daphne's legal father.
Recurring characters[edit]

Maiara Walsh as Simone Sinclair, Bay's nemesis and Toby's ex-girlfriend, as well as Wilkie's ex-girlfriend

Production[edit]
On August 1, 2011, ABC Family announced that they were ordering more episodes for the first season of Switched at Birth, bringing the first season to a total of 30 episodes. After the airing of the series' initial 10 episodes ended on August 8, 2011, the series continued with a winter premiere on January 3, 2012, airing an additional 12 episodes through March 20, 2012.[13][14] The series began airing the remaining 8 episodes of its first season on September 3, 2012.[15] On August 17, 2012 (2012-08-17), ABC Family renewed Switched at Birth for a second season;[16] it premiered on January 7, 2013 (2013-01-07).[17] After the spring finale on March 11, 2013 (2013-03-11), the second season resumed on June 10, 2013 (2013-06-10).[18] On July 30, 2013, ABC Family renewed the show for a third season to premiere on January 13, 2014.[4]
The show has an American Sign Language expert who helps make sure that the sign language used by the four fluent regulars (Katie Leclerc, Sean Berdy, Constance Marie, and Marlee Matlin) all employ a similar dialect.[19][20]
Airing on March 4, 2013 to mark the 25th anniversary of the "Deaf President Now" protests at Gallaudet University, the season 2 episode "Uprising"—which featured a similar student-led protest surrounding the closure of Carlton School for the Deaf, was produced almost entirely in sign language.[21]
Filming locations[edit]
The show is filmed in Los Angeles, California. Establishing shots used in several episodes feature video of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, including: a shot of the Liberty Memorial in the first episode; the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art; and Loose Park.[22] There are scenes filmed in Santa Clarita, Valencia, Beverly Hills, and Pasadena.[23]

Media information[edit]
ABC Family promoted the series by launching an online game, Switched at Birth: Hunt for the Code one week before the premiere. Bay, a graffiti artist, left her signature stencil image on ten different websites, and players searched for the picture and accompanying code to redeem sneak peeks and enter a drawing to win $4,000.[46] Each weekday, ABCFamily.com posted two clues hinting at a site featuring the image, and instructed users to scan the code with a Microsoft Tag Reader for exclusive content.[47] Additionally, each code had two letters for fans to collect and enter to win upon completion of the ten-digit code.
