In a certain lottery drawing, two balls are selected at random from a container with 30 balls, numbered from 1 to 30, 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? Answers:
A) $9.85 x 10^6
B) $9.90 x 10^6
C) $1.00 x 10^7
D) $1.05 x 10^7
E) $2.9*10^5
The max product of any two balls can be 29 * 100 = 9900 = 2.9 * 10^3   If you multiply it by $1000 the max amount will be 2.9 * 10^5.   $2.9*10^5
