You are a star! That's so helpful! Sorry to ask for more, but I am looking at another lottery which is called Euro Jackpot. It's pick 5 + 2, where 5 main numbers are picked from 1-50 and 2 euro numbers from 1-12. The minimum prize is to match 2 main balls and 1 Euro ball. How would I do this

Amazing! That's what I was looking for! Thank you.

Would you be able to help me on this one as well - it's UK Set For Life, 5 numbers 1 to 47 - I need to match 2 numbers to win a prize. This would help big time! Thank you

Thank you for the info. I will look at it and see if I could figure it out. I would like to do this for European lottery called Euro Millions which is a pick 5 + 2, where 5 main numbers are picked from 1-50 and 2 lucky star numbers from 1-12. The minimum prize is to match 2 main balls and 0 (zero) lucky stars (2+0). How would I do this

Demonstration: The Cross Section Method

The section crossing method is a reduction method which consists in

subdividing a given numerical mass into two or more homogeneous or non-homogeneous

sections using a specific symmetrical or mixed development typology composed of a set of plays

covering both the section combinations and the Crossover combinations between sections so you get guaranteed winnings.

Thanks, I found those numbers but I would like to know the logic behind it, how it's done so I could implement on different lotteries.

Systems to always guarantee a win of smallest prize

CommonSense — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 10:10:52 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for systems / wheels to generate the smallest number of combinations which will always guarantee to win a smallest prize. For example in UK Lotto where there's 1-59 balls, pick 6 numbers, minimum match is 2 numbers to win a prize. How would you approach this problem? I am also looking for a programming code if possible.

Thank you.
