In a certain lottery drawing, two balls are selected at random from a container with 300 balls, numbered from 1 to 300, inclusive. If the winner of the lottery is awarded a cash prize in the amount of $1,000 times the product of the numbers on the two selected balls, which of the following is a possible amount of the cash prize given to the winner?  Select:
A) $9.85 x 10^6
B) $9.90 x 10^6
C) $1.00 x 10^7
D) $8.97 x 10^7
E) $9.90 x 10^7
The max product of any two balls can be 299 * 300 = 9900 = 8.97 * 10^4   If you multiply it by $1000 the max amount will be 8.97* 10^7.   Answer: $8.97 x 10^7
