Default finding a common set of numbers in separate rows

In order to win a prize in the lottery (6/49) I need to get at least 3
of the drawn numbers. If I betted on the same three numbers in each
draw I might at the very least get some of my money back.

Does anyone know how to find the three most common set of numbers in
the draws made in a Lottery?


For example, if we were to run such a macro in the following table,
with the results of each draw in its own row:

A B C D E F
1 2 4 13 21 27 47
2 8 10 16 17 30 47
3 4 16 21 27 35 43
4 3 11 25 28 34 45
5 4 8 21 27 39 44


The result would be:

4 21 27

Anyone with a macro that can do this?
