pumpi 76=

Note that C(50,5,3,5)=C(26,5,3,3)+C(24,5,3,3)

because if you divide 50 numbers into 2 groups, then at least 3 of 5

numbers must be either in one or in another group. You can find

C(26,5,3,3) =260 and C(24,5,3,3) =231 Taking 2*C(25,5,3,3) =2*256=512 would be bigger, because 26 has a nice

symmetry.

So, obviously 17296 is far too much. But let s take a look at your

idea to take one number from [2..18], one from [6..36] and one from

[34..49]. This gives you 17*31*16... [ More ]

Let's make it a little easier to discuss by working with 20 numbers for that 5/6 guarantee. That wheel would require 1,154 lines. (20,6,5,6)=1154

Divided into two groups of 10

For the 3/3 that takes (10,3,3,3)=120

For the 2/3 that takes (10,3,2,3)=8

To make our Pick-6 combinations we'd have to pair up each of the 120 lines with each of the 8 for a total of 8 x 120 = 960 which is darn close to our 1154 lines, but not exactly and I'll tell you why.

Our new wheel is no... [ More ]

I'm sorry you're going to have to explain this more clearly if you want anybody to understand it. There's literally no possible way to have the same wheel that would regularly cost 4000 dollars for 600 dollars.

But if I understand what you are sayingis that you'd split the field in half, and then play 2 seperate wheels, one 2 if 3 wheel and one 3 if 3 with it, I'm not a big fan of splittin the field of numbers you chose in half, but if you meant you were just playing two seperate wheels, the... [ More ]

lets use Pick6, let say you want to wheel, 30 numbers for a 5/6....It might costs you like, $4,000 i dont know i am just saying....

let s say the first 30 numbers in the Pick6/49 were going to play...

you use 2 wheels 1 from 1-15 pick3 abbreviated wheel the other from: 16-30 abbreviated wheel...

you could get a: 2/3 abbreviated wheel from: 1-15 and a 2/3 or 3/3 abbreviated wheel from: 16-30...

lets say the, 1-15 came out to: 20 tickets and the 16-30 came out to, 30 tickets...YOU THEN... [ More ]
