Three numbers or better
A lottery draws 6 different numbers at random from 1 to 49. Your ticket has 6 different numbers of your choice. What is the probability that at least 3 of your numbers are among the 6 drawn?
Answer with a probability. First lock in a gut guess with an 80% range, then solve it properly, then watch a simulation settle on the truth.
