There are 252 possible combinations of fives using ten numbers. To guarantee a 5 of 5 match if all five numbers are amoung the ten, you would have to play all 252 combinations. That was easy to figure, but had you asked about 5 of 6, I would have no idea how to figure it except to look at a list of available wheels and pick one that worked.RJOh

I know this one...10 numbers equals about 250 sets of numbers....252 i think to be exact.
