number of cards other than “1”:  4×7=28  that means 6 pulls contain at least  one card with number 1.

$${number}\:{of}\:{cards}\:{other}\:{than}\:``\mathrm{1}'': \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{7}=\mathrm{28} \\ $$$${that}\:{means}\:\mathrm{6}\:{pulls}\:{contain}\:{at}\:{least} \\ $$$${one}\:{card}\:{with}\:{number}\:\mathrm{1}. \\ $$

  To get at least one card with num. 1 means   we may have one card or two... or four_(num. 1)    Yes we have 28 cards other than 1, so we   can subtract the C_5 ^( 28)  _(other than 1)  from the total   ways of pull any five of 32 cards i.e.    NumPulls_(num. 1 at least)  = C_5 ^( 32)  − C_5 ^( 28)                                                 = 103 096 pulls
