Create an Excel Lottery Number Generator

[@jasonparker333]

I actually came here to watch about generating lottery numbers (I thought the video was about wheeling systems) but I actually learned something new in Excel, so thanks very much, now subscribed to your channel

[@Computergaga]

The draw sheet is just 6 cells that have been formatted with a fill colour and border. Vlookups are then entered to capture the data from the Calculations sheet. The file can be downloaded from the downloads section of my website.

[@Computergaga]

You can either create a different button to click for each ball. The manual calculation VBA code for the ball would be assigned to each button. Or you can run this line of code every 3 seconds or something by using the ONTIME method in Excel VBA. Check it out.

[@muzkat101]

OK, that looks good. But what if I have a historical list of previously drawn Lottery numbers already drawn on an Excel sheet, and now I want to eliminate those numbers from future draws, do you know of a way I can apply this to the random number generator?

[@mbelkaid]

Thank you followed up your instruction and ended up generating five number out of 15 for euro lottery and It works straight away , no complication no problem instead of 49 number I chose 15 numbers from A2 to A16 which generate five number out of 15 I protected the Vlookup furmulas and the Rand and rank I can change the 15 numbers in the the C column anytime saved it on macro Brilliant and very helpful. I have my own GENERATOR now I may come back one day and tell you I hit it. lol Thank you again.

[@richmadrid9563]

its been 6 years, have you hit it already? Lol

[@Computergaga]

Yes certainly. Please check out my Excel Lottery Generator Inside Out video for instructions.

[@josestudyexcel]

If I win the 6/42 PCSO Lotto jackpot with this formula, I will give this channel some money.

[@runeludviksen3660]

Very nice! Thank you! I made a version with names of the Employees in stead of numbers. Some people with more than one chance in the lottery. Live lottery at work!

[@Computergaga]

Awesome. Thank you Rune.

[@Computergaga]

Bob, You need a period before each Range object so the main section reads; With Worksheets("DRAW") .Range("C7").Calculate .Range("E7").Calculate .Range("G7").Calculate .Range("I7").Calculate .Range("K7").Calculate .Range("M7").Calculate End With

[@Computergaga]

You will need to insert a conditional statement such as If inside the loop to test if the number has already been produced. If so then select another number at random

[@ewjammer]

After setting Calculation Options to Manual, you can simply press the function key F9 to re-calculate. Saves having to write the macro.

[@Computergaga]

True, the macro can be used to run specific formulas though.

[@Computergaga]

For Excel 2011 you need to click the Excel menu > Preferences > Ribbon. Then check the Developer check box and click Ok.

[@Computergaga]

The RND function can be used in VBA for similar purposes and then displayed on the sheet without the need for the Lookup functions.

[@richmadrid9563]

Hello, Is it possible to have another sheet, where previously drawn numbers came out are listed, and be a consideration for what numbers come out when the draw button is click?

[@Computergaga]

@@richmadrid9563 Sure. It is not something that I have an example to demonstrate. But yes it's possible.

[@abuakku7525]

​@@Computergagaactually i don't have laptop can u tell the formula about mahzooz draw 49 numbers 5 balls

[@sawirusj4230]

Powerball Lotto choses 6 numbers from two different baskets, so I modified the VBA code by adding another With Statement and another sheet to generate numbers for the Powerball. The first With Statement generates 5 numbers and the second generates a Powerball. Thank you.

[@Computergaga]

Good work Sawirus.

[@Computergaga]

For anyone need a 6/55 version of the lottery number generator. This can also now be downloaded from a link in this videos description.

[@Computergaga]

Great. This generator does not assume that the numbers generated will be the upcoming numbers. They are completely random. If they do happen to be the right numbers and you win. I would like 50% :)

[@Computergaga]

RANDBETWEEN is the answer as you say. This sheet performs the calculation on the click of a button. Automatic formulas have been switched off for this to happen. Download the workbook and check out the VBA code that runs the formula.

[@aaliyaha5704]

Hi can you please tell me why I am getting Run Time Error 9 saying subscript out of range. How do I fix it

[@Computergaga]

It is entered =rand() and produces a random number between 0 and 1. On the spreadsheet the cells are formatted in a white font in that column. This may be why you are not seeing the numbers.

[@jojoparrocha3063]

Many thanks to Computergaga with your tutorial. Now i already made myself a complete lottery number generator 6/42, 6/45, 6/49 and 6/55 without any errors. You are such a great help to us. God bless you my friend ^_^

[@anynomous6789]

Only in PC right?

[@amers83]

Man, I wish I was smart enough for this. I'm alright at narrowing down the numbers that won't come up by half on my own just by looking at patterns and eliminating cold numbers based on feelings.However, I would love generator that lists every combination for the rest of them. Millions of combinations to go through but I would be a little bit closer.=) I'm having fun doing this. It's a never ending challenge. Probably the same buzz people get chasing after Big Foot.l.o.l.=)

[@ItCarrysAFEEL]

What do you use bro?

[@jayjanuary4357]

amers83 you need all winning lottery numbers from day one and enter into generator.

[@SS-jo8id]

This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "lottery number pattern finder" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Zenulian Lottify Bonkers - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.

[@forecastinglottery6153]

only artificial intelligence based on self-taught neural networks can solve the problem of lottery forecasting

[@utkurjonshapulatov2701]

Alan your tutorial vedios are very clear and helpful. Thank you very much. I have created in excel ball number frequency of the lotto but I do not know how to work out how many days ago those ball numbers were last drawn. Would you be kind to guide me what formula to use and how to work that out please. Thank you.

[@mickcarson8504]

But, it's not what I was looking for. However, this is just as brilliant . What I was looking for in Excel, but have failed many times myself is that, after the lottery numbers have been selected by the machine from the rolling wheel or whatever machine it is, I then write all those 6 winning number in boxes at 6:00 that are similar to what you're done in this video, but I play the same number, so I write all the ticket's six numbers in each rows straight on Excel. The lottery game is six winning number out of 45. When any of the six number from the machine are selected, that are the winning numbers and then I use those number to check the ticket for winning numbers. But it would have been much easier if I typed the winning number in those 6 boxes (6:00) and then I click on 'Find' or 'Enter' and the winning numbers then highlighted in every rows of the entire ticket numbers written in Excel, according to what they are, e.g. row 1 would have 3,12, 26 highlighted. Row 3 would have 12 (again) and 31 highlighted as is row 1, while row 7 would have 4, 9, 27, 31, a measly win of 4 numbers in row 7, usually $24, depending on what lottery you play. The other rows might have a couple of highlighted numbers, or only one number. This is what I have been trying to do but it doesn't do to my expectation. Only one number is highlighted on only one row, not 2 or 4, or six numbers in one row, or any numbers in other rows below. How do I make this thing highlight whatever 6 winning numbers from every row in the ticket that has been written on Excel? Since I use the same numbers, how can I type six winning numbers in a six box finder and then hit Find or Enter

[@rcarter]

This is pretty awesome! I'm actually wondering, is there a way to modify this to use for a raffle drawing? I'm trying to do a raffle with my employees but seeing as we're all working from home right now, I'm not sure how to go about this in the most fair way possible. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

[@yoknowjesus]

Hey just saw the vid, if you still haven't figured it out all you have to do is add in between the Range("C7").Calculate and Range ("E7").Calculate input this code Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(00,00,01) or however many seconds you'd like to wait between drawing

[@fouadalyousefi975]

the creative ideas and solutions in excel like this video are better than depending on standard methods. many thanks

[@Computergaga]

I am not too familiar with OpenOffice but was under the impression that it did have functions such as CountIf

[@davemac1015]

could you please set up a combination mix from 1 to 22 in groups of 5. thanks

[@EduardoPiston]

The best and the only way a lottery number generator can work, is a program that keeps track on the draws, and picks the new numbers based on the best records on how late and how soon the numbers were drawn. So, it makes the new games matching the best ratios of even odds, lower, medium and high numbers, that matches the best rations of soon&late numbers. Still, even with the best programs, any system can guarantee that we´ll win everyday, but this is the best one to keep playing.

[@Computergaga]

Couldn't really say without seeing your code. Property is information about an object such as a cells value.

[@PokeChampionHQ]

thanks I will use this and see if I win anything, I will keep you posted.

[@DAC_AMD]

Hello ! The =randbetween is helpful in this case, but if I want the numbers to be generated according to the previously drawn numbers' frequency, how would =frequency formula be implemented? Thank you.

[@Computergaga]

This is just a simple light hearted random number generator for picking numbers for the lottery.

[@denise9720]

I was able to create my own generator with your example. This was cool! My question is how how do you take into consideration the numbers that have already been drawn? That must be a different problem to solve.

[@Computergaga]

Denise C. A very different problem. This is just 6 random numbers.

[@peterparker2981]

[@Computergaga]

Your welcome Peter, thank you.

[@billbaumiester6764]

So based on the functions you created in columns A and B, how do you calculate not using certain numbers. In other words, the changes of last week's winning numbers repeating themselves are not truly random, no matter what the math gurus say. I would prefer to subtract those numbers before doing any calculations.

[@MrSunshanmu]

This is a pretty cool app. Thanks. I was wondering if I wanted to get some random numbers between 1 to 12 in the same file. So the generator will draw two sets of numbers, 5 between 1 to 49 and then 2 between 1 to 12. How would I go about that?

[@candycrushlover2910]

I have tried to do what you did in your excel document (but for 50 numbers instead of 49), however it seems that the new version of Excel creates formulas that look different than how yours does. It says that the formula is incorrect. I can't work out why it isn't going through. When I mimic what you did on the 'Draw' Page it looks like the formula below and says 'there's an error in the formula you entered'. For your information 'Lotto Randomisation' is the name on the tab that I gave my 'Calculations page' =VLOOKUP(Calculations!'Lotto Randomisation'!$E$1,Calculations!'Lotto Randomisation'!$B$2:$C$51,2,FALSE)

I was able to create different draw buttons, but can't figure out how to avoid duplicate numbers. Thank you,

[@Computergaga]

You want to put the calculation for the rand function cells in a loop so that they calculate until that return a number different to the ones in the other 5 cells.

I need to follow these exact steps on my spreadsheet, but I need to make sure that nothing will change the random numbers EXCEPT the button. In other words, I need to enter and delete information on the same spreadsheet...and while I do this, I need the random numbers to remain the same. And then when I'm ready, I will hit the button to change the random numbers. You didn't enter or delete anything after making the button, so I'm not sure if this is possible. Let me know.

[@TumultTenacity]

Hey, the CountIf function does not work in eliminating duplicates in the Unique Rank column. For it to have the desired effect you need to separate the Ranking and CountIf functions into separate columns, and have the countif copy directly from the Rank cell at the same level (not the previous cell). I.E Ranking Calculation in Cell B2 =Rank(A2,$A$2:$A$50) Unique Rank Calculation in Cell C2 =B2+CountIf(B$2:B2,B2)-1 You would then use column C for the Unique Rank You can't have the above calculations in the same cell, as this creates a circular reference.
