Euman,

I'm not interested in past picks. What I want to do is have a database =
of all possible combinations of 6 from 54. I'm tracking this primarily =
to prevent duplication in assignment of picks to various entities.

Is there a formula I can use that will convert a number (1...25827165) =
to a corresponding, unique, set of picks?

For instance...

1 =3D 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
2 =3D 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7
3 =3D 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8
...
25827165 =3D 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54

I doubt it, but maybe there's somebody here with more time and =
brainpower to figure this out... If not, then this is why I would need =
the EDS database of all possible combinations.

Thanks!
ck

P.S. Why would somebody want your software? You're not going to claim =
that it will help win the lottery, are you?
  CK, I've got every International and State lottery (Past Picks) in a =
database
  8 megs and load times are very fast on my slow 233mhz.
  I'll be releasing my Commercial app this month...
  You can buy it for $40 US which will give you updates for all =
Lotteries
  for 3 month after which time you can purchase 3 months at $10
  or 12 mnths for $25.....
