California - SuperLotto Plus Combinations Generator (Full Wheel)
SuperLotto Plus Full Wheel (SuperLotto Plus Combinations Generator)
Otherwise known as a Lottery Wheel, this utility generates all the combinations of a selected set of SuperLotto Plus numbers into groups of 5 and an extra Ball, with the
option of fixing some selections. Fixed numbers are those numbers that the user wants to appear in all generated plays.
This SuperLotto Plus wheel is divided into two parts - Preview and Generation, which function independently. The Preview part is
intended for analysing the scenarios and expected outcomes of the combinations of a set of numbers before they are
generated.
The generation part lists the plays based on the user's selections. First, the user selects a set of SuperLotto Plus numbers, and
may optionally fix some of them, and then choses either to view the scenarios or to generate the required combinations.
If no numbers are fixed, the generated plays will be all the possible combinations of the selected numbers. If some
numbers are fixed, then the plays will be generated by combining the fixed numbers with all the possible combinations
of the rest of the selected numbers.
The purpose of fixing some numbers is to reduce the number of plays generated. This results in lower cost, but
at the expense of reduces chance of winning. For instance, the combinations of 9 numbers and 5 Balls will result
in 630 plays; but if 2 of the numbers are fixed, the number of plays becomes 105. This utility allows you to fix upto
upto 5 numbers. However, note that you can fix only one Extra Ball; furthermore, if you fix the Extra Ball, you cannot have
other Extra Ball selections. (To choose the numbers to fix, you may arbitrarily do so, or you may use the results of our
'Numbers Analysis' as well as our 'Pairs Analysis ' and ' Number-ball Pair Analysis'.)
A SuperLotto Plus jackpot is guaranteed if the fixed numbers are all winning numbers, plus if all the other winning numbers are
among the selected numbers. If no numbers are fixed, then a jackpot is guaranteed as long as the winning numbers are
all within the selected numbers. All other scenarios can be viewed by manipulating the 'what if..' situations in the
Preview section as demonstrated below.
Usage Example for SuperLotto Plus
The following explanations are best understood if you open the
SuperLotto Plus Full Wheel Generator
window and execute the examples yourself.
Let us suppose that we want to play all SuperLotto Plus numbers that end with 0 and 5, that is,
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 (a total of 9). Plus
5, 10, 15, 20, 25 as the Extra Balls (5 of them). To preview the scenarios, select 9 from the
drop-down numbers and 5 for the Ball on the Preview panel and press "Show Scenario".
The total number of plays to be generated will be shown as 630 in the Scenario panel. Now, we can manipulate some
'what if' situations to see how the 630 tickets would fare. For example, if 4 of these numbers are winners, but
not the Extra Ball, then select 0 as fixed, 4 as other selections and leave the Extra Ball checkbox unchecked, and
then press the 'Show Results' button. You will see that 25 of our plays(tickets) will match 4-of-5, none will match 3-of-5+Ball,
and so on. If one of the selected Extra Balls is also a winner (check the box to indicate that), there will be 5 matches
of 4-of-5 + the Ball, 20 matches of 4-of-5, and so on. If all of the winning numbers end either with 0 or 5, then it
will be celebration time.
Now let us see the effect fixing two of our numbers. Go back to the Preview panel and select 9 as the numbers to play and 2 as the
numbers to fix, also select 5 for the Ball, and then press the button. In this case there will be only 105 plays
to be generated all of which, as you'll see later, will contain the two fixed numbers. Here, the scenarios will
involve how many of the fixed numbers and how many of the other selected numbers are winners, and also if the Extra Ball
is a winner. For example, if 1 of the fixed numbers and 3 of the other selected numbers
are winners, and if the Ball is also a winner, then 1 of the 105 tickets will match 4-of-5 + Ball,
4 will match 4-of-5, and so forth.
Generation of SuperLotto Plus combinations
The generation part shouldn't pose any problem except how to select and fix the desired numbers. To select a number,
just click on it. To fix a number, click on an already selected number. To unselect a number, click on an already
fixed number. Thus, a cycle of clicks on a number will select, fix, and unselect it, respectively. Again, note that if you
fix the Mega Ball, you cannot have other Ball selections. After
selecting the numbers, you can preview the scenarios by pressing the "Scenarios" button.
To list the combinations, click on the 'Generate' button.
At this point, you can select the 9 numbers of our example and see the outcome. Also, you may fix 2 numbers, say,
5 and 10, and click "Generate". Observe that all the generated combinations will contain 5 and 10.
