Hi, Viking:
Thanks for your great strategy! But I'm still not clear how can you choose the 24 rows with different #s (48/2) for your game? Also, the triplets are too. Could you let me know in detail about it? Thanks.
Best,

Hi Lottoboy,
I maybe explained myself a little bit wrong, but this is what I meant. My game has 48 numbers and to find out how many different pair combinations to pick in EL you must take 48 and divide it on 2 and for triple combinations you must take 48 and divide it on 3. When you have done this you get 24 for pairs and 16 for triplets.
When you have picked your first pair or triple combination the background color for the numbers will change from white to green, as in my case. Your background colors are maybe different, but my white background color is the same as rest of the pair or triple statistical window and the green background color is not the default color in EL so yours are maybe light yellow.
Then you hold down the CTRL button when you pick your next combinations. If one of the numbers in the pair combination has a green background color or one or two of the numbers in the triple combination have a green background color this is not the combination to go for. The combination to go for must have a white background color for all numbers.
Following this strategy will leave you with 24 marked rows for pairs and 16 marked rows for triplets. When you have picked all your combinations you can scroll up and down and you will see that all the combinations are green.
For some games there will be one or two numbers who will not be picked. A game with 49 numbers will leave out one number for pairs and triplets and a game with 47 numbers will leave out one number for pairs and two numbers for triplets. One solution to this is to decide which number or numbers to leave out before you start to pick. The number or numbers you leave out will have a white background color when you are done picking.
Hope this explanation will help you to better understand what I meant.
Regards,
Viking
