    With my luck, the probability is zero. LOL

    Since the caps are winners, and you bought the bottles, you lose. LOL

    Assuming the caps on the bottles you bought are randomly chosen from the group of 10 in such a way that each is equally likely to be a winner, you have a 6/10 = .6 = 60% probability of being a winner.
