| − | There are <math>\text{15,890,700}</math> people in a town which is holding a two-day lottery. Each person will get a ticket with a set of <math>6</math> different numbers, each being a positive integer between <math>1</math> and <math>50</math>, inclusive. If your ticket is drawn on the first day, you will win your prize, and you cannot win another prize because your ticket has been thrown out. You have taken a ticket that is pictured like this: <cmath>\boxed{\text{6 15 26 32 45 49}}</cmath>
