I dont know if im asking this correctly. But lets say i have a 6 digit lottery number and i want to buy more tickets, but i want to make sure i dont buy repeating numbers. i want to make sure 3-4 numbers dont appear on any other tickets. 1,2,3,4,5,6, i would make sure 123, 234, 345, 456, 124, 125, etc dont appear again. How would i do this quickly? any website that could break it down for me into sets of 3s and 4s?

Is this for pick 3? Not sure what game you're asking for here. If it's pick 3 then there are 220 base combinations. From those base combinations there are 780 combinations that come from those. Here are all the base then the permutations.

This may not even be what you are asking for, but just in case. If not, I'm sure something could be programmed as to what you are wanting. May have to clarify a little more what it is. Either could be programmed to get rid of duplicates easily with excel.

No. i dont need all sets. Just different possible 3-4 sets from a single unique number. Lets say powerball, i have 5 numbers and want all possible 3 numbers from that one unique number.

Only program that might be able to do this is Expert Lotto 5.

I think a trial version is still available.

You could also ask the developer if you can't create the sets you need.

I'm getting you want to use 6 numbers and you want to ensure three of those to repeat in every set.

So you'd have 6 numbers.
Your sample size would be 3.

You would have 20 combinations with no repetitions of a single number......

ABC
ABD
ABE
ABF
ACD
ACE
ACF
ADE
ADF
AEF
BCD
BCE
BCF
BDE
BDF
BEF
CDE
CDF
CEF
DEF

Or 56 combinations with repetitions...

AAA AAB AAC AAD AAE AAF ABB ABC ABD ABE ABF ACC ACD ACE ACF ADD ADE ADF AEE AEF AFF BBB BBC BBD BBE BBF BCC BCD BCE BCF BDD BDE BDF BEE BEF BFF CCC CCD CCE CCF CDD CDE CDF CEE CEF CFF DDD DDE DDF DEE DEF DFF EEE EEF EFF FFF

You play each three as a set adding whatever other three you choose at your discretion.

Does that help?

Dreaming would be a perfectly useless function if it's only purpose was to entertain.

Talk small and carry a big class library...

'abcdef' combinations: 3 atATimeDo: [:each | Transcript cr; show: each printString]

or

'123456' combinations: 3 atATimeDo: [:each | Transcript cr; show: each printString]

'123' '124' '125' '126' '134' '135' '136' '145' '146' '156' '234' '235' '236' '245' '246' '256' '345' '346' '356' '456'

Looks a lot like a wheel...

Otherwise, all possible ways: 6^3 and 6^4.

If you want to filter, then you filter. At pick 4 there might be doubles, more than at pick 3.
There might be tools for members, I don't know, I don't play those games other than simulating in the past.
Takes high rolling or playing close to daily, or raising the bet etc.

Much better!
Maybe the best answer you have posted.

I'm probably here unless I'm not.
Dreaming would be a perfectly useless function if it's only purpose was to entertain.

My best answer was a video with a foaming camel that was peeing against its legs.

You are happy with little. You seem to be a modest man.

I am the most humble, modest, sincere, honest, rich, poor guy in Texas.
I'm a happy person and I don't have a camel.

But, camels aren't cuddly cute little animals like horses. You see?

Games like GTA has cars. Red Dead Redemption has horses.
I don't know of any real video game that offers a camel.
You could probably get a camel for 90% off to pee on your leg.
They pay better than 3 Euros for that, right?

I'm also good at keeping secrets.
