ohhh yeah, hey guys thank you both, RO , soldad, for helping me out with the simple understanding of when to use the lotto math or not if an when the total combined draw sum is more then 999.
Yes I did read that in the very beginning of this tread and simply blanked it out, while I was spaghetting my brain out trying to implement the calculations correctly into a excel worksheet.
And now comes cddv (thank you) with a neat java utility program (YAHOO) for the S2S method of what I am TRYING to do in a excel worksheet which is still progress.
I'm still visiting in Florida and dumped more $$ then I should have trying to get a win here at least once before going back home to Las Vegas, which is a NO LOTTERY state. But hey for me just the convenience here of walking into a nearby a lottery ticket vendor beats the long drives to either AZ or CA, not to mention the pain in the butt unsuccessful hassles and attempts of trying to fund my 5D account.
Well anyway lets move on guys like RO says, Keep the VIBE ALIVE !!
