The wheel is specifically designed for multiple combinations, not one.

In fact, all the wheeling generators I encountered online acted the same way.

Thanks for this observation Amber. It's funny, I recall using a wheel for pick 3 that generated all the possible combos for Pick 3 straights (allowed you to enter doubles, for example). Prior to asking about this here, I went to my bookmark for that site and discovered the site is now defunct. It kind of boggles my mind that this very seemingly "simple" wheel does not appear available on the Internet. hmmmmm. Thanks again and just want to say (as a newbie here) that I am truly enjoying your posts for evolving lotto systems.

Hi Raven, thanks for that. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to generate all 12 straights from the 4 digits. If I enter 2278, it results in one combo only - 2278 and not the entire set. I also selected straight combos only and I still get only 1 result. What am I doing wrong? Thanks again, in advance.

It's a positional wheel, so if you just select "2" in the first position, "2" in the 2nd position, "7" in the 3rd position, etc. then you will only get "2278" as a result. You need to select the "2" "7" and "8" in each of the 4 positions if you want to be able to place all digits in all positions.

It's easy to do if you use the correct filters.

Select all three digits in each digit position and you'll get 81 unfiltered combinations. To filter check the "Doubles (AABC)" box, the "include all straight combinations" box, and then under "Pairs Filters" check the "Exclude All Unchecked" box and then uncheck the 77 and 88 boxes. Click "Generate Wheel" and you'll get the 12 straight 2278 combos.

Btw, my best pick-4 hit ever was playing 2872 $3 straight and $3 box.

Wrong. See my reply a couple minutes ago.

The 77 and 88 must be unchecked in the check the "Exclude All Unchecked" boxes too.

Hello All, I know these must exist, but for the life of me I cannot find them. I am looking for a lottery wheel that can generate all the Pick 4 straight combinations from 4 digits (doubles included). For example, if my digits are 2278, I would like to quickly get all the four digit ST8 combinations that come out of that. (And same for pick 3). In advance, thanks bunches!

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks Todd for clarifying, I shouldn't have assumed, especially that you have just about every possible tool on LP. Unfortunately for me I couldn't understand your explanation, and Raven's until I clicked on option 1 with jimjwright's picture..lol...I was being linear and not 3 or 4 wink wink dimensional.

Sometimes I need a picture.

If you simply want all straights of a box combo, you can download this excel sheet

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4Qt2_2g3zs5TlJEcGtwSUdlNE0

This is from my thread :https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/311426/5067610

This excel has all 10000 pick 4 combos and their characteristics - sum, root, sum last digit or short sum, box, straight and so many others.

For your need, you can filter the column box combo and choose the number you wanted. It would show all straight number with that box representation.

Hope it helps.
