How to display combinations from a data set so i can then filter ?

[me2012]

So my mates and i would love to have some numbers to play with on keno while having a beer , and maybe win occasionally

I have searched the net and this forum , but im still stuck. Closest being this

http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/626608-lottery-results-check-please-help.html

** What i need is a formula/s (VBA & macros r beyond me) to display how many times a combination set of numbers has occurred from a data set.
Starting from 1 to 8,145,060 (6 from 45) combination's and then to check each line to the drawn numbers (data set) to find out hot/cold atm sets.

I know how to use the filters so im ok there (to sort out what i want) , and yes i know keno is an 80 number game, but I just ignore the last 35 numbers to give me better odds.

What i have so far :

I'm currently using Excel 2007

Each Sheet ( 1 to 9 ) has 1,000,000 combinations (please see pic below) ** ignore Column H for the moment its not what i need **

And Sheet 10 has the Draw History ( data set ) please see pic below ** Currently it has 16,000 draws (2 months worth) i will MAX it out at 20,000.

What i need help with :

1. I need column H on each of the nine sheets to display how many times , 4 of the numbers in that lines combination have occurred from the data set in sheet 10.
2. I need column I on each of the nine sheets to display how many times , 5 of the numbers in that lines combination have occurred from the data set in sheet 10.
3. I need column J on each of the nine sheets to display how many times , 6 of the numbers in that lines combination have occurred from the data set in sheet 10.

I can then use filters for the info im after

I have no idea how to go about this and any help/pointers in the right direction to achieve this would be greatly appreciated ( free beers )

Thank You for Reading.

ps :

If anyone wants the workbook (.xlsx) to help me or try their own system i have uploaded here (152mb .rar) :

@oldbrewer Thanks for replying , but i cant get that Formula to work with my criteria :

1. I need column H on each of the nine sheets to display how many times (Total) , 4 of the numbers in that lines combination have occurred from the data set in sheet 10.
2. I need column I on each of the nine sheets to display how many times (Total) , 5 of the numbers in that lines combination have occurred from the data set in sheet 10.
3. I need column J on each of the nine sheets to display how many times (Total) , 6 of the numbers in that lines combination have occurred from the data set in sheet 10.

because after this i would like to know on average how many draws since these events last occurred, maybe i need more than just a formula to achieve this.

-------- A ------ -B -C- D- E- F- G - --H - I --- J ------ K (Average draws for J )
eg :---Set 1 --- 1- 2 -3 - 4 -5 - 6 --- 150 -90 -33 --- 690

And Yes its pure chance especially with a mechanical lotto system, but Keno is purely electronic using a pseudo random number generator with a static seed ( that they cant change by law) so cycles in number combinations will be easier to predict with enough data.

 

[oldbrewer]

the example I gave was for one "try" - If you had a thousand tries you could SUM the number of 1's in each row and use countif sum=4, 5 and 6

enough data = billions and Excel ain't big enough.......

try it - BUT to generate your "tries" you will need a random number generator - I used one once that generated a random seed and used that random number in a macro to cause a time delay then take the present time in format hh:mm:ss:000 and used the middle of the last 3 digits to add to a random prime number to seed my generator and give me my number....

@oldbrewer mate i a Hired a Freelancer to do this project for me , he used VBA and macros to do exactly what i needed + some really nice extras in 1 day, the resulting data was as expected and scraping the data is now dead easy.

Thanx for your help anyway, much appreciated. ( and yes summing with countif was what i was trying , but the freelancer showed me a more efficient way to do it ).

Quick Summary of the Results Im getting so far if your interested :

Stats eg : 15,000 draws on Sheet 10 checked against 10 combinations on sheet 1 takes 0:20sec ( 16Gb , I5 core , 64 bit )

1. It dosen't matter to a point (at least 10,000 draws) how many game draws it has , the resulting data is the same. ( Doubling up on the same result )
2. The resulting data is in pockets ( as expected ) and the timing between events on certain combinations is yielding promising results.
3. Say if i only look at every 100th drawing or 50th drawing etc , the timing between events on certain combinations is better than expected (still crunching the numbers on that ,Time will tell ).

Question : Is it possible to somehow reverse engineer the SEED from a set of Drawings that uses a pseudo random number generator (with a static seed) to produce the Draws using Excel ?

Then i could just run them in parallel and know exactly whats going to happen and when
