There is only 1 way that you can get 1 2 3 4 5 in that order.

There are many possibilities of drawing 5 numbers from a total of 9 possible ones.

Total number of drawing 5 numbers.

Total = 9 * 9 * 9 * 9 * 9

Total = 59049

So putting the two facts together you get

Chance of getting (1 2 3 4 5) = 1/59049
