There are 22C7 ways. (7^22)C= (20×19×18×17×16×15×14)/(1×2×3×4×5×6×7)= 77520 So, Probability of winning the lottery = 1 / 77520

Total number of choices = 22C7 = 170544. Out of this only 1 will match with the prefixed number. Hence the required probability is 1/170544.

Dear Akshay, Sorry for the slip of hand mistake in my previous answer. The right answer is (1/170544) as,22 C 7= (22!)/ = 170544. Sorry for the inconvenience.

There are 22 natural numbers, 7 numbers may be chosen in 22C7 ways.. (7^22)C= (22X21X20×19×18×17×16)/(1×2×3×4×5×6×7)= 170544 Since, there is only 1 favourable case which is being fixed by lottery committee. therefore,Probability of winning the lottery = 1 / 170544

There are total 22C7choices that she has to choose from out of which only one will win her the prize. So, the chance of winning a prize is 1/(22C7) = 1/170544
