could anyone please tell me how many permutations there are with 52 numbers many thanks in anticipation.

Assuming you mean 52 different numbers:
52 ! = 8.06581752 × 10 to the power 67.
So that's just over : 80,658,175,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Can you tell us why, so I know whether I have understood what you want to know.

If they are all different then 52! (factorial)

Ahh, so the 52! answer we gave was right for the initial question posed but doesn't apply in this case now that we know the capplication. The odds improve in a lottery because you only need to get maybe 6 balls right not all 52 in the right order, and it doesn't matter which order the balls come out in. I don't know how this lottery works but the odds will be a lot better than 1 in 52 factorial.
