Hey again SergeM. The 3 and 4 is a total different beast. I tried to set some stuff up on it the same way as I do some of the other games, but the repeating in the same draw just took out any ideas I had for it. When trying to use it for what I do on the others anyway. I set up the tracking charts for them, but what I use for the larger draws wasn't happening. Not with my limited excel skills anyway.

My main focus was the Powerball. That's where all my work stems from. I just kind of moved ov... [ More ]

You can't compare to pick 3.

Thank you for the information SergeM!!! I'm not sure what covermaster is, but I'll check into it. I've never really used much other than what my peabrain has come up with on this stuff.

I've read some about wheels on here, but have never used any as of yet. Been thinking about trying them for some time also, just never got around to it. I've always went at them with a direct win or no win with as little as invested monetarily-wise as possible. Not that worried about the 'ole mighty dollar, ju... [ More ]

If you use covermaster, you can copy a full wheel to the clipboard, and paste it where you want to have it, or just save as text file, later import the text file to Excel or other spreadsheet program.

When you have the wheel in Excel, activate the filters, mark the numbers you want to see displayed. When you like the result, select the data and paste it on the next sheet.

When it doesn't fit on one sheet, you can split the data on several sheets.

Another option is to filter a conditione... [ More ]

Sup Sky?

I'm just about there with getting to that point. If it does what I hope it will, that part will make it easier for sure. I'll figure out something though.

I'll check in with you later....

Thanks for the reply and info

Thanks again SergeM!!!

That is what I was asking for. In ascending order yes. LOL.

There would only be 24 numbers in total. Four for each position only. Just as you have it with the 4 - 8 - 12 and so on, there would be variations of course. I was only asking with the 1-9 to get a base idea .

Answers:

There would only be four distinct numbers per position. They would only be per draw and not for future draws. So if I had 1-4 for the first ball, 2-5 for the second and so on, that's the... [ More ]

Thanks SergeM for the reply!!!

I'll look into that and see what I can figure out. Still learning here and appreciate all help in doing so

Thanks for the reply phileight!!!

I must have worded what I was looking for wrong. I was looking for the base amounts of sets that it would take with four digits for the first ball, four for the second ball and so on. Starting with 1-4 for the first, 2-5 for the second and so on. Once you get to the fourth largest digit and it being the 4, you could only have 4-5-6-7-8-9 as a set. I know there would be a few more with some distance between each for real play, but I was looking for a minimum t... [ More ]

Something hit me earlier today as to how to do something with some of what I've been working on. I'm working it out on a sheet myself right now, but was wanting to get some opinions from others on here to make sure I'm right on it.

For a draw that has 6 number positions. 6 balls, or however you want to call them.

6 number positions as pick 6, ...

If you laid them out in numeric order from smallest to largest, and had say, 4 choices for each position, how many sets would that make to pla... [ More ]

Hey there Fox. See if this is what your thinking or looking for

their is a formula to work this out, its called combin, below will work out you combinations for you which will be 15

The first part is the is number of items, the second is the number of combination required

=COMBIN(6,4)

Regards

You should find in Excel help, look for permutation, combination etc.

The functions are lego pieces for further combinations.

We rewrite factorial in VBA, you find the code in a thread.

If I understand what you are asking 4x4x4x4x4x4 4096 if some of the numbers in different groups are duplicated and you remove duplicates that will change the answer. if your question really is how many 6 digits combinations can you make from 24 different #'s that is a different answer 134596

That's not counting a game with a bonus ball. It's just any game that has 6 ball positions. Doesn't matter which one.

We don't even have a 6 ball draw here, but was just curious and making sure I get it right so I know what to do next.

How many sets??
