Drawing math question

So I just had a question on a particular drawing and if any Math Kings could help me with ratio or frequency of hits, would be appreciated.

There is a drawing where 5 numbers are chosen. You then match them to the numbers you have on your sheet. The range is 11111 to 99999 and they must be consecutive I.E. a drawing of 34967 would only match one with 24876.

So looking for the rate of 0 of 5, 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc.

Thanks in advance.

I get these probabilties. For example, the calculation of 3 right out of 5 would be combin(5,3) * 1^3 * 8^(5 - 3) / 9^5 = 0.01083846

right	prob.
0	0.55492896
1	0.34683060
2	0.08670765
3	0.01083846
4	0.00067740
5	0.00001694
SUM	1.00000000

I get the same probabilities.

This assumes there are no zeroes, and "consecutive" means "the number must match in the same spot".

I took the liberty.
