can you help me understand this better as the Question asks for Probability that a player wins after playing the game once, does that mean, player looses on first chance and then win the game. or am I understanding it wrong

In a game, one player throws two fair, six-sided die at the same time. If the player receives at least a five or a one on either die, that player wins. What is the probability that a player wins after playing the game once?
A. 1/3
B. 4/9
C. 5/9
D. 2/3
E. 3/4
Probably the easiest approach would be to find the probability of the opposite event and subtract it from 1:
P(win) = 1- P(not win) = 1 - 4/6*4/6 = 5/9.
Answer: C.
