Professor Gamble buys a lottery ticket, which requires that he pick six different integers from $ 1$ through $ 46$, inclusive. He chooses his numbers so that the sum of the base-ten logarithms of his six numbers is an integer. It so happens that the integers on the winning ticket have the same property--- the sum of the base-ten logarithms is an integer. What is the probability that Professor Gamble holds the winning ticket? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 1/5 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 1/4 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 1/3 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 1/2 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 1$
