All "draw-style" games can be simulated in the same way. They rely on
drawing without replacement. Say the rules for a lottery are there are 50 balls numbered 1 thru 50. Five balls are drawn at random. In A1 thru A50, enter 1 thru 50. In B1 thru B50, enter =RAND() Sort cols A & B by column B. This will "shuffle" the values in column A. Use the first 5 (A1 thru A5) For another draw, just repeat the sort. Change the ball numbers and number of balls drawn to match your particular lottery. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200856 "Random Number Generator in Excel 2007" wrote: How do I set up a random number generator to pick lotto and power ball numbers? |
