In a certain state's lottery, 30 balls numbered 1 through 30 are placed in a machine and 5 of them are drawn at random. If the 5 numbers drawn match the numbers that a player had chosen, the player wins $30,000. In this lottery, the order the numbers are drawn in doesn't matter. Compute the probability that you win the prize if you purchase a single lottery ticket.
