Answer

$P(win~both~games)=\frac{1}{3669120000000}\approx0.0000000000002725$

Work Step by Step

$P(win~the~first~game)=\frac{1}{5,200,000}$ $P(win~the~second~game)=\frac{1}{705,600}$ $P(win~both~games)=P(win~the~first~game~and~win~the~second~game)$ 1) not a single event 2) AND 3) independent events Use the Multiplication Rule for Independent Events (page 282): $P(win~both~games)=P(win~the~first~game~and~win~the~second~game)=P(win~the~first~game)\times P(win~the~second~game)=\frac{1}{5,200,000}\times\frac{1}{705,600}=\frac{1}{3669120000000}\approx0.0000000000002725$
