In the SmallState Lottery, three white balls are drawn (at random) from twenty balls numbered 1 through 20, and a blue SuperBall is drawn (at random) from ten balls numbered 21 through 30. When you buy a ticket, you select three numbers from 1-20 and one number from 21-30. To win a prize, the numbers on your ticket must match at least two of the white balls or must match the SuperBall.

If you buy a ticket, what is your probability of winning a prize?

Hope this helps but I think there is a 1/4 or a 25% chance of somebody winning a prize.
