johnph77,Range is the amount of numbers covered from the lowest value number to the highest value number in the combinations. For example the last MM combination 05 21 27 44 53 +36 had a range of 49, the gaps were 16, 6, 17, and 9, the sum was 150. Needless to say, that combination wasn't in my group, I might have to widen my range to 30-49.RJOh

RJOh -Curious to know what ranges = 30-48 mean. Reference to numbers in a certain column? Max gap and sums I understand.....glj

When I play Megamillions I do something similar. The odds of winning Megamillions are normally 1:3,819,816 x 46, however when I play within the parameters sums = 95-200, ranges = 30-48 and the maximum gaps between numbers = 23 which have included 80% of previous winning numbers I reduce my odds of winning to 1:1,739,340 x 46 which is a 220% improvement.

The upper limit on the sum chart would be:2+7+2+8+2+9+3+0+3+1= 37

The code in even QBSAIC is relatively easy:FOR A% = 1 TO 27FOR B% = A% + 1 TO 28FOR C% = B% + 1 TO 29FOR D% = C% + 1 TO 30FOR E% = D% + 1 TO 31A% + B% + C% + D% + E% = Z%IF Z% = 73 THEN PRINT A%; B%; C%; D%; E%IF Z% = 74 THEN PRINT A%; B%; C%; D%; E%NEXT E%NEXT D%NEXT C%NEXT B%NEXT A%ENDThere are 169,911 possibilities in a 5/31 matrix.
