Imagine a lottery where balls numbered from 1 to 49 are placed in an urn and three are sequentially picked at random. Note that the same number (ball) cannot be picked twice (i.e., once a ball is picked, it remains out of the urn). You win the lottery if your ticket, which consists of three numbers from 1 to 49, has the exact numbers that were picked at random. The order in which the numbers are randomly picked does not matter. How many possible combinations does this lottery have?
