Unless I'm doing something wrong here - just typing some javascript into the console gives me...
Mathematically, it seems like you'd need to draw one of five numbers from the range, then one of four numbers, then one of three... so the likelihood would be 5/100 * 4/100 * 3/100 * 2/100 * 1/100 = 0.000000012. Although those odds don't seem to line up with the javascript I posted.
