With regular 20/70, playing 40 numbers is over the top. You can consider it as a wheel. Best score you can reach is 20/40 and the worst score is 0/40. Playing 20 numbers can end in 20/20 to 0/20. That is all there is to say about this.

Getting 20/40, you might just get four times 5/10 by Murphy's law, where all goes wrong anyway.

I did a quickpick version with 70 numbers, randomnly spread over 7 combinations, on my system page.

I want to know how many sets of 8 numbers I can get from these 40 numbers.

There are 76,904,685 possible combinations of 8 in a pool of 40 numbers.

Okay......let's start with the simple stuff...

Taking any 5 numbers from the first line and combining it with any 5 number from the second line in sets of 8, lowest to highest, no repeating number in any line we get 45 sets.This is true for all 8 number combinations made with any 10 numbers.

The more numbers you add to the total, the trickier it gets.

Taking 5 from line 1, 5 from line 2, 5 from line 3 and 5 from line 4 we have 20 numbers total.

Using any 20 numbers, lowest to highes... [ More ]

Hi mate this is what I mean:

I have the number 1-40 set as a normal keno board like so

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

I want to know how many sets of 8 numbers I can get from these 40 numbers. The conditions I wish to add to this to cut down the possibilities or bad numbers are:

at least 1 numbers from each line must be use and maximum of 5 numbers from each line will be used.

so

The biggest reason people are hesitant to respond to post like this is because they aren't sure what you want.

Can't blame them.

You have 4 lines of ten numbers. Got it.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Now what do you want?

Do you want every number combination out of ten?

Do you want every 8 number combinations out of 20 (which would be 5 numbers from each of the four lines)?

Or do you want to know how many 8 n... [ More ]

(1-10,11-20,21-30 and 31-40). How do we work out every combination possible to get 8 numbers while using a maximum of 5 numbers from each of the 4 lines. As 8 numbers will be chosen this means that on average 2 numbers from each set of 10 will be used to make up the 8 so if we set a maximum of 5 from each set of 10 then we should have it covered. I need to know every possible combination so what I mean is usually if I were to do it manually
