Question: I don't know about MM but if it were lotto it would be: 1/49 * 1/48 * 1/47 * 1/46 * 1/45 * 1/44 = 10,068,347,520 / 6! correct?

I think I made the same mistake when initially calculating the odds of MM, but the order doesn't matter (except for the last number here), so your odds would be 1 in 49/6 * 48/5 * 47/4 * 46/3 * 45/2 * 44, or 1 in about 13 million. For the first number, you have 6 chances in 49, the second number has 5 chances in 48, etc.
