How many 3 digit combos can be made from 6 digits (no pairs) PLEASE HELP !!

Another way is to use the Positional Wheel Generator. Check each of the 6 digit in all three digit positons and the wheel generator shows 216 without fitering. Then check Singles (ABC) and generate the wheel; 120 straight combinations. The end results is still the same as playing 20 box combinations though a box can be played for $10.

Once again Jimmy, thank you.

I'm sure that last post took you some time.

Your an asset to LP, and I'll never forget it.

I am now starting to understand the deflate tool, with your help of course.

Thank you Thank you.

May lady luck shine upon you

I was able to use deflate tool to get 120 combinations, I will have to post multiple pictures to demonstrate the steps:

First I set the following option for straight combinations:

Then I set the following filters:

1) Removed Doubles.

2) Removed Triples.

3) Removed numbers from position 1 (In my example I only wanted to play digits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 so I remove digits 0, 1, 2, and 3 from all 3 positions)

4) Removed numbers from position 2.

5) Removed numbers from positi... [ More ]

Thanks jimjwright...

It's easy to tell that I'm a newbie at this (once again), and seem to have forgotten all I learned about the pick 3/4 lottery from years ago.

I can't even remember the system I used back in 2011, where I hit a 4 digit straight/box for $2,500.00 + $104.00 after only a few weeks @ about $30.00 per day (could have been just luck as well). But then I hit for $104.00 again 3 days later ! (have photocopies of tickets and check, by the way for any non-believers)

Here's a free wheeling program

You originally said that no digits repeat (ie. no doubles or triples) if that is not true then yes it would be 6 * 6 * 6 = 216.

Lets use a simple example of only wanting to play the 4 digits 2, 3, 4, 5. The formula would n * (n-1) * (n-2). So we would have 4 * 3 * 2 = 24.

Lets manually do the combos:

1. 2 3 4

2. 2 3 5

3. 2 4 3

4. 2 4 5

5. 2 5 3

6. 2 5 4

7. 3 2 4

8. 3 2 5

9. 3 4 2

10. 3 4 5

11. 3 5 2

12. 3 5 4

13. 4 2 3

14. 4 2 5

15. 4 3 2

I've been researching here for 14 hours, trying to learn more, but it's 2 AM and almost time to call it a night.

This is a question mostly for Jimmy who kindly responded earlier in the post. My question is this.

You had said that if I wanted to wheel 6 digits (Permutation) or no doubles, that I would use this formula.

6 in the first, 5 in the second, and 4 in the 3rd. But what I don't understand is, if I were looking to cover all 6 digits straight, how could that happen if I was only pl... [ More ]

They say you learn something new every day. Thanks to Jimmy, I have now put Mathisfun in my favorites, learned the difference between a combination and a Permutation, as well as factorial function.

Never stop learning.

Many thanks.

You rule Jimmy !!

I will surely check out that site. Math was always my favorite subject, and now it's my grandsons (8 yr old) whom I adopted when he was 1.

This site rocks.....

If you want to understand the math then google Permutations and Combinations as they are applicable to lottery and how combinations are formed.

Permutations without repetition would be straight combinations. Combinations without repetition would be boxed combos. mathisfun is a good site that explains the concepts fairly clearly.

If you are just looking for straight combos with no repetition for Pick 3 then the formula for n digits to play is (n) * (n-1) * (n-2).

So lets say you want to

Darn.... 120 combos in this case would not have been bad.

It would have cost me $60 (.50 per set) to win $250 (str8).

Would love to do that a few time a week.... but from doing research from Jan 1 to now, I find that the Mirror of the previous day only works between 9-14 times per month.

Hard work and research (read read read) will get me back on course.

Thanks all.

God Bless.

Jimmy, I started reading your reply and it was making total sense, that was until you got into the calculus type equation, and totally lost me,

But thank you just the same for your time and info.

I will remember the 6 for the first, 5 for the second and 4th for the 3rd.

I beleive it was buff4. but I can't say for sure. I joined as a new member again, and chose a different name as I assumed my account verification was under an old email address, and would only be a hassle to track down. But I am positive that it was here on Lottery Post. his is by far the best lottery site on the net.

Thank you for your interest.

P.S. No, I wasn't booted LOL.

Thank you for the speedy reply cash4ninja.

Is that a difficult formula to understand/explain ? Just in case I run into a 5 or possible 7 digit situation.

I also need to research on this site, as to where I can input 6 digits, with all 3 digit results, such as a wheel.

Once again.

Thank you.

If you are asking for straight combos where position matters with no duplicates you would have 6 choices for 1st digit, 5 choices for 2nd digit, and 4 choices for 3rd digit.

So that would be 6*5*4=120 straight combos.

If you were playing boxed then it would be C(n, r) = n! / r!(n-r)! or in your case (6,3) = 6! / (3! * 3!) = 20 boxed combos.

How many 3 digit combos can be made from 6 digits (no pairs) PLEASE HELP !!

jbuff — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 01:06:08 GMT

Hello All.

I'm a newbie here, actually I once was a member of LP long ago, and now I'm back into the lottery frenzy.

Anyhow, a question for you math wizards. How many 3 digit (Straight) combos can you get out of 6 different digits (no pairs or triad)

I worked on tonights number, using a mirror of yesterdays number, along with the Lottery Bible table.

Here's what I had. Mirror was 983.

983 - 448 - 624 -600 - 846

938 - 174 - 839 - 396 - 015

389 - 648 - 884 - 426 - 662
