    1/36

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The probability that the first winner lives in Gaston is 2/9. The probability that the second winner lives in Gaston is 1/8, the number of remaining Gastonites divided by the total number remaining in the pool.

    Then the probability of both of these events is the product:

    P (2 from Gaston) = (2/9) (1/8) = 2/72 = 1/36

    The probability both are from Gaston is 1/36.
