I am not exactly sure how this lotto works. But if you are asking for the probability of choosing a particular combination of seven numbers out of 40 without regard to order, it is 1 divided by 18,643,560.
This is because there are 18,643,560 ways to choose any combination of seven numbers out of 40, calculated as:
40C7 = 40! / [33! X 7!] = 18,643,560

This makes my head hurt. If you like this kind of thing, though,
you’ll probably enjoy the (free) lottery probability system they talk about here:
