Asked by JESS
Many states use a lottery such as Powerball. Game tickets select 5 white balls numbered 1 to 69 and one red ball numbered from 1 to 26.
Suppose a person wanted to purchase a lottery ticket every minute, each one with a new combination of numbers. At that rate, how many days would it take to purchase all possible ticket combinations?

There are 69P5 * 26 different tickets
There are 1440 minutes in a day
So divide.
It will take 2.4*10^7 days
