Uncle Dodo has this to say:
For example, if a game required six numbers ranging between 1 and 40 to be chosen, there would be 3,838,380 possible sis numbers combinations.
Suppose 200,000 tickets are sold and each ticket has average 8 lines of six numbers combination which totals 48 combinations. 48 combinations X 200,000 tickets would be 9,600,000 combination.
As mentioned above you can ONLY get 3,838,380 combinations of six numbers out of 40 numbers.
The question is where in the world the difference 5,761,620 (9,600,00-3838,380) came from.
The answer is REPEAT i.e multiple tickets have similar combinations. Obviously those 5,761,620 combinations have ZERO chance of being the winning combinations.
Good luck fools!
