You can use =COMBIN(number,number chosen) in excel to determine which 21 combinations of 7 numbers for a 5 play to use; I used =COMBIN(7,5) to sort my 7 numbers into 21 combinations of 5 numbers each using my Microsoft Excel worksheet. If 3 numbers match, you will win 6 out of 21 combinations, if the plays are set up to win 3 out of 5, or 3 out of 6, numbers. 6 number matches are not the same as the 6 numbers you would pick to win a lotto draw.
