Well let's start with a simple problem (maybe with the use of calculators)!

There are $\text{15,890,700}$ people in a town which is holding a two-day lottery. Each person will get a ticket with a set of $6$ different numbers, each being a positive integer between $1$ and $50$, 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: \[\boxed{\text{6 15 26 32 45 49}}\]

What is the probability that this ticket was drawn on either of the two days of the lottery?
