In a lottery game, a machine has 48 balls marked with numbers from 1-48 and six of them are taken out at random. A player picks six of these numbers, trying to match the six balls that come out of the machine in any order. If exactly 4 of those 6 numbers match those drawn, the player wins third prize. What is the probability of winning this prize? Give answer as a fraction or decimal rounded to 4 significant digits in either standard or scientific notation. Hint: there is more than one way to win, take into consideration all the ways to pick the 4 winning numbers and the 2 losing numbers.
