The Powerball lottery for a certain region is set up so that each player chooses five different numbers from 1 to 59 and one Powerball number from 1 to 35. A player wins the jackpot by matching all five numbers in any order from the 1 to 59 group and matching the Powerball number.
Suppose that there is a drawing in which the Powerball lottery jackpot is promised to exceed​ $500 million. If a person purchases​ 175,223,510 tickets at​ $2 per ticket​ (all possible​ combinations), isn't this a guarantee of winning the​ jackpot? Because the probability in this situation is​ 1, what's wrong with doing​ this?
Choose the correct answer below.
Â
A.
The probability of winning is not​ 1, since there are more than​ 175,223,510 tickets due to other people participating.
B.
It​ isn't realistically possible to buy all​ 175,223,510 tickets.
C.
The prize is shared among all winners. This person is guaranteed to​ win, but not guaranteed to win​ $500 million.
D.
There is nothing wrong with doing this.
