Raven62 interesting use of 7 digits. I have never considered that aspect of number selection for the bigger games. a project for the next time i'm rained in.

thanks

This may help answer the question, but then again it may generate more questions:

Using 7 of those numbers (0123457) you could have created this unique combination:

05-13-17-45-54/12

Thanks for bringing me back down to Earth. I was starting to think I was psychic.

Call me crazy but I still have a feeling he might be asking about numbers for a lottery game.

Just a hunch on my part, wild guess, shot in the dark.

I apoligise for the confusion caused by my choice of words. my stats skills are a weakness i'll probably never overcome,but it doesn't keep me from trying.

when I get interested in pick 3, my favorite tool is 2if3 in 8 by Robert Perkins with a couple tweeks by me. His method was to order the 10 digits by freq last x games.

I have been using a random number generator to scramble these numbers, looking for combinations(permutations) that would have produced at least 2 winners in past 10 days... [ More ]

So far nobody has asked about a lottery. All that was asked is how many combinations you can make with the numbers 0 through 9, and if there are no restrictions you can make an infinite number of combinations. I guessed that wasn't the answer he was looking for, but it's up to him to ask a different question if he wants a different answer.

No, you're wrong.

You could not make an infinite number of combinations using the numbers 0 through 9 as it applies to any lottery game.

The number would be finite.

If you use all of the numbers (whether there are 10 of them or 10,000) there is only one combination. There are 3,628,800 permutations, but lottery games don't use permutations. If you're thinking of a pick 10 game (as RJ is apparently doing) then there would be 1 billion possible numbers (0,000,000,000 to 9,999,999,999). I'm guessing none of those cover the situation you're thinking about.

It all depends on the amount of numbers in the combinations.

1=10

2=100

3=1000

4=10000

5=100000

6=1000000 and etc.

The intent was to use all 10 numbers in every comb. I have got far enough into this idea to see that it is far too many for what i had in mind.

thanks for the response.

You can create an infinite number of unique combinations using the numbers 0 through 9 (or 0 and 1, FTM). I'm sure that's not the answer you were looking for, but I'm guessing you didn't ask the question you meant to. Would you like to qualify it a bit

number of combinations

Using the numbers 0-9 how many unique combinations can be created
