I've been starting the question then I get confused,please help!

5. Sara would really like to have all 6 games. She can buy the games at the local store for $15.00 per game or she can get them in Huffa Puffa cereal boxes that cost $6.95 a box(all prices include taxes).

Assuming that Sara does not know which game is in each cereal box, design, describe and carry out an experiment to determine how much it would cost Sara to collect all 6 game CDs from the cereal boxes. Fully descrie your reasoning.

I tried having 1 box of cereal= 1 game so 5 games left.
Next box would have 2 games OR doubles of the first game.
3rd box would have 3 games OR doubles of the first game or have 2 games and so on . I'm not really sure how to figure it out.
Please I need help.Could someone help me with it or give me a start with it?

Thanks in advance!
 
The probability of getting all 6 from 1st 6 boxes is 5/324;
is that enough to get you going?

5/6 * 4/6 * 3/6 * 2/6 * 1/6 = 5/324
