Hi Mr excel hope your well, I have a question , what are the odds of choosing 5 correct numbers on a pick 5 entry playing 100 games?

[@MrXL]

In a Pick 5 game where you choose five digits from 0 to 9, the odds of a single straight bet being correct are one in 100,000. If you play 100 games, the odds of one of them being correct are one in 1000. If you choose 5 different digits and box them, (known as a 120-way box), then the odds of a single ticket winning are 1 in 833. If you play this game 100 times, then you have a one in 8.33 odds of winning. The payout for a $1 bet is $416.

[@gamecasters7935]

This is nice but is there a way in Excel to find how many combinations are in a range of sums. So if i wanted to see which combinations are in the sum range of 100, could you make excel list all those combinations in that specific range of sums? That would be really useful to me.

The only way that I can think of doing this is to run the macro in this video. Add a new column to the right that does the SUM. Then use Data, Filter to look for combinations that match 100 or any number.

[@lisagust3806]

Mr. Excel. Instead of aggregating all possible number combinations at one time. Is there a way to aggregate only the possible number combinations starting with 1. So for example in 5 digit combination 1 to 70, which only start with 1. I would like to create a separate page for combinations starting with 1, then another page for combinations starting with 2, etc. Also, the way the code suggested here populated each number combination in column a (1-2-3-4-5). Is there a way to generate the number combination where the combinations are generated as A - 1, B-2, C-3, D-4, E-5? I believe if these methods could be utilized it would make it easier to disseminate the data.

[@BillJelen]

Let's start with your second question. In many of these lottery systems, we are generating 40 million cells. If you would instead list them into five columns, then you are generating 200 million cells and it is far more likely that you will need 64-bit Excel. You can see many comments from people who have a machine that is stopping long before the program can run because they are running 32-bit Excel with not enough memory. If you use 5 cells instead of 1 then it dies much sooner. Second, it is very easy to later split the data into multiple columns. Choose a range of interest - perhaps A2:A50000. In Excel, click the Data tab along the top. Just over half way across, there is a tool called Text To Columns. Select that tool. In Step 1, choose Delmited and click Next. In Step 2, unselect Tab. Choose Other. In the Other box, type a hyphen. Click Finish. Third, if you really want to build the worksheet with the numbers in five columns, you would replace this line: Cells(TR, TC).Value = A & "-" & B & "-" & C & "-" & D & "-" & E With This Cells(TR, TC).Resize(1, 5).Value = array(A, B, C, D, E) Later in the macro, change this line: TC = TC + 3 to TC = TC + 7 For the first question, I don't currently have that code. It is a bit more complex than what I would write for free. What would you think about generating 66 different workbooks? Trying to put 66 large worksheets in one workbook is going to run into memory issues.

[@lisagust3806]

@@BillJelen Thanks for your reply. I ran the program you made available here. I will use it when I transfer my data to my other lottery workbook. I ran into the problem of memory. So I am wondering if after I transfer my data and delete it. Is there a way to start the list of lottery numbers where the program stopped due to insufficient memory?

[@MrXL]

@@lisagust3806 Let's say that the last number before the memory problem was 4-8-12-16-21 You could have the program skip all of the groups starting with 1, 2, and 3 by changing this line of code: For a = 1 to 31 to be For a = 4 to 31 You would still get duplicates starting with 4-5-6-7-8 up through 4-8-12-16-21. If you are running out of memory before you get all the way through the numbers that start with 1, then I it would be harder to restart.

[@LowkeyMAGICCHESS]

hmm, why i'm only getting up to 24999 rows only? need help please

Make the workbook is saved with a name before you run the macro. The program tries to do an AutoSave at row 25000. If the workbook doesn’t already have a path and file name it could stop there.

An easy solution in Power Query is possible, and it takes less time to calculate than this formidable VBA-solution (some 15 minutes). (No offence, Mr.Excel :-) The twist here? Well, I wish I could post it here, but KZbin won’t let me. :-( (No, no clickbait: there’s nothing to click. Just a fact.)

Hi Ryan First - in any cell, enter =COMBIN(24,6) and press Enter. This will tell you there will be 134,596 combinations of 24 names. To generate the names: List the 24 names in cells A1 through A24. Run this macro: Sub List24NamesChosenBy6() TR = 1 ' ThisRow Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' Last possible is 19-0-21-22-23-24 For a = 1 To 19 For b = (a + 1) To 20 For c = (b + 1) To 21 For d = (c + 1) To 22 For e = (d + 1) To 23 For f = (e + 1) To 24 Cells(TR, 3).Value = Cells(a, 1).Value Cells(TR, 4).Value = Cells(b, 1).Value Cells(TR, 5).Value = Cells(c, 1).Value Cells(TR, 6).Value = Cells(d, 1).Value Cells(TR, 7).Value = Cells(e, 1).Value Cells(TR, 8).Value = Cells(f, 1).Value TR = TR + 1 Next f, e, d, c, b, a Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub On my machine, it takes about 46 seconds to run and generates all combinations in C1:H134596.

Is there a way i can make a look up formula that finds permutation (in any order numbers)?

[@MrXL]

This is an interesting question. I can picture two different scenarios. Which one is yours? 1) Do you mean that you want to point to a cell that contains 15-25-5-12-18 and it would say that this is a permutation of 5-12-15-18-25? Enter the five numbers in A1, and then use this formula: =TEXTJOIN("-",,SORT(TEXTSPLIT(A1,,"-")+0)) 2) Or do you want to pass five numbers 5-12-15-18-25 and generate all 120 possible permutations of those five numbers? This one is definitely not built into Excel. It could be done with VBA in Excel, but let me know if this is what you really want.

@@AndreaVacca87 I ran the macro this morning. It removed 179,494 of the 7,059,052 possible combinations, leaving 6,879,558 combinations left. Two things: 1) Because it is difficult to parse the numbers out of a text value like "7-8-22-29-32-38", I chose to remove the numbers as I wrote the combinations to the sheet. 2) There are six lines in the code where you have to edit the numbers from the last drawing. They look like this: LastDraw(1) = 2 LastDraw(2) = 4 LastDraw(3) = 17 LastDraw(4) = 21 LastDraw(5) = 24 LastDraw(6) = 43 In my case, the numbers to remove were 2-4-17-21-24-43. You can see how to change the code for your numbers to remove, right? Here is the new code: Sub ListThemAllUnlessThreeMatch() TC = 1 ' ThisColumn TR = 1 ' ThisRow Ctr = 1 ' Ctr = 1 Dim LastDraw(1 To 6) As Integer ' Change these lines to show the numbers in the last drawing ' Logic below will eliminate any combinations that have three of these LastDraw(1) = 2 LastDraw(2) = 4 LastDraw(3) = 17 LastDraw(4) = 21 LastDraw(5) = 24 LastDraw(6) = 43 MaxRows = Rows.Count Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' Last possible is 39-40-41-42-43-44 For a = 1 To 39 For b = (a + 1) To 40 For c = (b + 1) To 41 For d = (c + 1) To 42 For e = (d + 1) To 43 For f = (e + 1) To 44 MatchCtr = 0 ' Count how many match the LastDraw For j = 1 To 6 If a = LastDraw(j) Then MatchCtr = MatchCtr + 1 If b = LastDraw(j) Then MatchCtr = MatchCtr + 1 If c = LastDraw(j) Then MatchCtr = MatchCtr + 1 If d = LastDraw(j) Then MatchCtr = MatchCtr + 1 If e = LastDraw(j) Then MatchCtr = MatchCtr + 1 If f = LastDraw(j) Then MatchCtr = MatchCtr + 1 Next j If MatchCtr < 3 Then Cells(TR, TC).Value = a & "-" & b & "-" & c & "-" & d & "-" & e & "-" & f Ctr = Ctr + 1 If Ctr Mod 2500000 = 0 Then ThisWorkbook.Save End If TR = TR + 1 If TR = MaxRows Then TR = 1 TC = TC + 1 End If End If Next f, e, d, c, b, a Application.StatusBar = False End Sub Good luck!

Are the numbers 1 to 35?

In that case, it would be easiest if you listed the 35 hot numbers in A1:A35 of Sheet2 and Sheet1 was blank for the combination of numbers. Let me know if this is your situation.

Rather than list ALL combinations: What is required is (a spreadsheet or program) which returns the required set of numbers, based on a position (in your example 1 to 7,059,052) and vice versa: For example Based on 6/44 (7,059,052) Position 6,000,000 = 12 14 21 23 26 28 Set 20 25 30 35 40 44 = 6,911,737 And for the current MegaMillions (5/70 + 1/25) (302,575,349) Position 6,000,000 = 01 07 14 23 34 + (25) Set 20 25 30 35 40 + (05) = 245,618,830 etc.

[@MrXL]

In cells A1:A10, put 10 position numbers. For example, 6000000 in A1. 6911737 in A2. And then any other position numbers in A3 to A10. Sub StoreInArray() Ctr = 1 Dim Res(7059053) For a = 1 To 39 Application.StatusBar = a & " on way to 39" For b = (a + 1) To 40 For c = (b + 1) To 41 For d = (c + 1) To 42 For e = (d + 1) To 43 For f = (e + 1) To 44 Res(Ctr) = a & "-" & b & "-" & c & "-" & d & "-" & e & "-" & f Ctr = Ctr + 1 Next f Next e Next d Next c Next b Next a ' For the numbers in A1:A10, fill in the results in B For i = 1 To 10 Cells(i, 2).Value = Res(Cells(i, 1).Value) Next i Application.StatusBar = False Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Run the macro.

[@mirriamjulile9738]

Now I have created my combination but I keep on choosing the wrong combination when ever I play

[@Nimbulaxan]

Another option would be to increment the column with 'a' so each column will have ALL the combinations with the same 'a' value by adding "TR = 1" and "TC = TC + 1" before the "Next a" statement and removing the other incrementation statements. As a way to more "reliably" track progress, at the end of each For a...loop, you could set ScreenUpdating = True, TR = 1, TC = TC + 1, Range("A1").Offset(0, TC + 1).Select, ScreenUpdating = False. This would have the values in a column all populate at the same time and select the first cell of the next column so the screen always keeps the last column on the screen. This would only minorly slow down the execution.

[@MrXL]

Thanks for the good idea about moving each "a" value to a new column. Toggling ScreenUpdating on then off is still no longer working for me in long macros. Once I hit the time limit for Windows to deem that Excel is "Not Responding", the ScreenUpdating trick is not working for me. Strangely, triggering a periodic Save keeps the status bar and ScreenUpdating alive.
