52!/46!6! = (52*51*50*49*48*47)/(1*2*3*4*5*6) = 20,358,520. In IL, the regular lotto is 6 out of 52 which is exactly the same as getting 6 specific cards out of a 52 card deck. The IL lottery shows the odds as 1:10,179,260 since you get two picks for a $1 play. ( You cannot buy a 50c lotto play in IL.)

I calculated higher than that, but it was a quick n dirty. I got about 119 million to 1

1 in 20,358,520. Number of players makes no difference.

Game is offering a million dollar prize with getting a 6 card DIAMOND royal
between your three cards and the dealers 3 cards. There can be up to 6
players on the table. What are the odds of gettting this and does the number
of players make a difference ?
