numerical combinations

[lista0800]

Friends, I'm from Brazil, and I'm developing a program to help you play the lottery ...
Does anyone have any program ready to generate any kind of combination ???
I am needing a program to take 60 tens and generate 50 tens combinations, which will give over 75 billion combinations ....
I will be very grateful and happy if anyone can help me with this algorithm

What do you mean by "60 tens" and "50 tens"? What is a "ten"?

Would I be right in thinking the OP wants a series of ten numbers from the sets 0-50 and 0-60 (or maybe 1-50 and 1-60)
for something to do with the lottery - perhaps based on a random number generator?

Maybe he is going to monitor the actual results against the ones in his table to see if there is some kind of correlation?

Sounds plausible, Griff. So presumably a "ten" is a two-digit number. So the customer picks N two-digits numbers between one and 60 (or is that 50)? And the mechanism for making the draw also picks N numbers. The number of two-digits numbers that match determines how much the customer wins.

If that's correct, the next question would be: What is the value of N?

Not really sure how that will help him.

Perhaps he will return with a coherent question sometime soon.

Then again, trying to work out what an OP really wants to know is sometimes as much fun as solving the original problem.
