Ah, OK, I've misunderstood how the wheels are being calculated - I thought calculations were being done against *entire* pick 6 combinations to determine a statistically relevant entry, and the others were just discarded.

Anyway, I'll definitely look into your database, as it sounds quite comprehensive.

Thanks for enlightening me

Well, I doubt if you need those 13244 combinations you say because these are 3 numbers/ticket and are used only to test the coverage of the 44,6,3,3 wheel. The actual 44,6,3,3 wheel is those 919 tickets produced from Covermaster. If you still want to see these 13244 tickets, generate a full pick 3 wheel with 44 numbers 1-44 (13244 tickets produced) which are the combinations used to test the coverage of the 44,6,3,3 but it is of no use to you when playing a pick 6 game; used only to test the cov...

Just so I'm clear, by full 6-3-3 wheel, I mean, for instance, for a 44-6-3-3 wheel, CoverMaster indicates the number of combos to test is 13,244, but ultimately generates 919 ticket combos.

I want to see all 13,244 possible combinations.

Will your wheels database give me that?

Also, does your database include 6-2-2 wheels with all possible combinations? (Again, testing things.)

Thanks

Hi mabman, A 44,6,3,3 is called an abbreviated wheel, not a full wheel. Anything that has the form X,6,K,L with K,L not equal to 6 is an abbreviated wheel for a Pick 6 game. Lotto Architect fully supports the use of abbreviated wheels but only a few are included in the freeware version to save download bandwidth. You can either use the wheel database manager (found in the start menu of your system under the Lotto Architect menu) to import your own abbreviated wheels or read the licence agreement... [ More ]

Thanks, I've downloaded it and I see how to generate full 6-6 wheels.

However, since I'm playing with things, can LottoArchitect do a FULL 3-3 wheel as well? I don't see an option to generate that (eg, 44-6-3-3).

Doing some searching, it appears Gail Howard's SmartLuck software says it can do full wheels, but I'm not sure if it's worth the $34.95...

Try Lotto Architect. It can generate such wheels easily. These are called full wheels and Covermaster produces only abbreviated ones. Full wheels also have the benefit to be filtered without implications whilst filtering abbr. wheels ruins their guarantee quickly.

Hi, anyone know of any program (or a site that has one pre-generated) that can do 6 of 6 wheels (for pick 6)? CoverMaster will only let me do 5-of-5 or 5-of-6. I'm looking to generate some for 44 - 46 numbers (out of 49).

Yes, I realize these wheels will be large and impractical to play - I'm testing something :)

Thanks in advance.
