1 in 46656.

If you're thinking about 'pay a pound and if you roll six sixes you win a car' that's already a well established promotion.

No offence intended Sofa but if you seriously didn't know that this is 6x6x6x6x6x6 then I'd recommend you stick to non statistics related money making schemes.

I have done very well out of life.,.,.regardless
as to knowing answers to some things
I was just thinking how since the age of 10
I worked for my self I've never had a boss
and that's the way it's allways been
all the different moneymaking ideas I've had
have allways been very profitable
and enabled me to by my first house for cash 15 years ago
ive been lucky enough to live a balla lifestyle
I have also lived the otherside of the coin
when money been tight
one big thing I learnt along the way is never ever ever
burn bridges
and allways be nice to everbody you never know when you might
need somones help

God knows mate.

Might've been able to do it 16 years ago when I was at college but those thought processes are long gone Smiley

Do you think you'd be able to get enough people to do the car thing to make it worth while?

Seems a big risk for very little reward to me.

No it's not that simple I don't think mate.

You've got a 6/49 chance to get your first one then 5/48 chance then 4/47 etc.

So I guess 49/6 * 48/5 * 47/4 * 46/3 * 45/2 * 44 = 13983816

Or to put it another way,
49!/(43!*6!)
