Example 1

This example applies for Expert Lotto 6/49 demo lottery.

The following definitions will be made:

Let A1 and A2 be two sets of numbers, such that:

A1 = 16,17,19,20,33,40,48,49,32

and A2 = 13,18,35,38,39,26

Also:

Tickets following the above rules can be drawn by:

a) Randomly generating tickets from a pool of 15 number, allowing for a maximum overlap in 3 numbers, which can then be swapped for the desired numbers from A1 and A2.

and/or

b) Full package generation with subsequent step-by-step filtering.

Part a):

Approximately 32 tickets will cover about 90% of all triplets from 15 numbers, with a maximum allowed overlap in 3 numbers. Thus, taking the following steps:

Note: These 4 files will be used for testing how many triplets (or quads) are to be covered by your bet.

This procedure should be repeated until the package is empty.

Part b):

The following procedure checks the coverage of triplets and/or quads by your bet either in the model1a file or in the model1b file.

Load either the model1a or the model1b file into the package and use the Match Tickets in a File filter to compare it with the trips15 and quads15 files. Make sure that the Tag matching tickets option is selected before using the filter. When the filter is finished load the file you compared with (trips15 or quads15) into the package and use the Tagged Tickets -> Leave (Remove) function to find out how many tickets are covered by your bet. Usually the bet containing 32 tickets should cover about 95% of all possible triplets and about 45-50% of all possible quads. You can conclude that guessing 4 numbers means about 90% guarantee of winning a 4th prize together with several 5th prizes.

You should be able to easily setup similar procedures depending on your required win guarantees.
