To both Alan and Rudy: I don't know what kind of lottery program you are developing, but anyway I guess you are trying to increase the probabilities of winning. I'd like to warn you that any previous statistics of winning number sets has no influence on future throws, of course assuming the mechanism used to select the winners is not biased and the people managing it is honest. But, however, I wish you luck in your attempts Regards. ----- Original Message ----- From: rudy toews <rltoews at ilos.net> Subject: RE: Lotto algorithym/formula needed > > > Alan Oxley wrote: > > > Hi gents/ladies, > > > I'm leaving lurk mode for the first time this year I think.. > > > > > > Does any math experts here know the method for generating (every) > > > sequences of 6 numbers, > > > from a user selected sequence of "lucky numbers" in the guess 6 of 49 > > > game?

Hi Alan, A maths expert I am not, but a Locksmith I am. I work with numbers and permutations all the time, it doesn't seem that difficult to me to create a routine to list (perhaps to a text file) all the 6 number variations of a 1 to 49 game. If this is of any help contact me and i'll explain further. Or maybe I miss read your 1st question.
