Let $G$ be a finite group; there exists a uniquely determined Dirichlet polynomial $P_G(s)$ such that if $t \in \mathbb N$, then $P_G(t)$ gives the probability of generating $G$ with $t$ randomly chosen elements. We show that if $P_G(s)=P_{\text{Alt}(n)}(s)$, then $G/\text{Frat}\, G\cong \text{Alt}(n).$
