Default Lottery Model

Selection of the balls is similar to a coin flip in that the last result has
no bearing on the next. Because all balls have the same chance of being drawn
the best way to positively influence your chances at reasonable cost is to do
the same numbers every week and one day you will win. The wait however may be
a very long one.

If you want some numbers to crunch then here's the UK lottery history since
day 1.

Hello everyone,

Please help. I want to build a model in Excel to help me determine possible
winning number combinations as my optimum solution, using previous draw
numbers as historical input data.

Is Excel's Solver suitable for this or would I have to look at a different
Optimization Engine. Where do I start?

Thanx
