I get that there are 350 12 number sets that guarantee a 100% coverage for a 3 number hit as described above.

The question I have is what are we to do with 12 number sets when PB or MM only use 5 number sets?

I hope that makes my question more clear.

Thanks for any info you can provide on that issue and Best Wishes for your plays.

This is a mathematical covering design (or lottery wheel) that reduces the total number pool of Powerball/Mega Millions into just 350 combinations of 12-number sets . This specific optimization guarantees a 100% catch-rate for a 3-match and a 50% probability of hitting a 4-match , significantly lowering the cost while maintaining high efficiency.

Tokecap,

The way I am reading these covering designs, they are not for PB or MM.

I read them as games that are:

1) 69 or 70 balls covered in the design

2) 12 Balls are drawn each drawing

3) Coverage of at least one 3 ball hit guaranteed (assumed 100% coverage)

4) If 3 balls are in the 69 or 70 balls covered.

CoverMaster says it takes about 30 lines of 5 numbers to reach a 100% 12,5,3,3 cover (12 numbers in each one of your lines).

How are you planning to put these... [ More ]
