   The number of ways the 5 numbers on your lottery ticket can match the 5 white balls is COMBIN(5,5) = 1. The number of ways your Powerball number can match the single Powerball number is: COMBIN(1,1) = 1. The product of these is the number of ways you can win the Jackpot:  COMBIN(5,5) x COMBIN(1,1) = 1. The probability of success is thus: 1/175,223,510 = 0.000000005706996738+. If you express this as “One chance in ???”, you just divide “1” by the 0.000000005706996738+, which yields “One chance in 175,223,510”.
