Bingo, to win the $2 prize by just matching the powerball, you have match 5 of 51 numbers, not 56. To do that you have 2,349,060 chances out of 175,711,536.
So, you take 175,711,536/2,349,060. Which makes your chances to win, 1 out of 74.8. edit: fixed glaring sloppy errors from quickly posting at work. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548
