I think you are mistaken, surely? The combinations alone -of- these numbers are incredibly, tremendously high because the lotto dictates the formation of this one combination in order as they are drawn, along with supplementary numbers? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_mathematics |

You could theoretically get all the " u-fill " lotto " games " and write out every combination of available numbers. It would require a team. Aiight, how many numbers we talkin' here? |

Lots, If there is 49 numbers in the lottery, to pick 6 in a row its 13841287201 chances, plus the supplimentry numbers absolutly blow it out. Not sure how many chances you get on your standarrd ticket, but you only hurt your chances buying every combination and distill the Pot Per say, Since there is a greater chance you would have to split the money with someone else.

The greater question; How many tickets cover all possibilities? |

i remember working it out a few years back, its about 15-20grand worth of tickets, but the hard part isnt the money its the filling in the numbers manually, and not messing up (yes a team is prettymuch needed) and if u had a 100% chance, assuming 20mil jackpot and sharing it with 2-3 other winners, thats still 7mil or so split that between 5-10ppl, and its still enough to live off for your entire life if u invest it, and dont splurge |

Would take about 228 weeks if you wrote a combination a second down with 10 people, again you would need a computer to do it. |
