In a recent news story, a guy in New Jersey hit the top prize "6 card Royal Straight Flush of Diamonds for a $1,000,000 win". The article lists the odds at "1 in 20348320" and indicated that experts at wizardofodds confirmed this calculation.
When I do the calculation, I get a different value. It is 1 in 20358520 (not 20348320). MATH: 52! / [(52-6)! x 6!]
Which calculation is correct?
