    Check repeated draw numbers on Florida lottery History > 2000 rows :(

    Check repeated 6-draw numbers on Florida lottery History, how is played (Select six numbers from 1 through 53) link if may need http://flalottery.com/lotto-howToPlay.do

    winning numbers link http://flalottery.com/exptkt/l6.htm

    my idea was t give a value for each row, we need to check rows by rows since each rows was a (set of 6 winner numbers) in the past

    the idea is did the Florida lottery did any time draw the same 6-pack of numbers more than 1 time?

    IF yes how many time this happen, and with those 6-pack of numbers was?

    Its worth to play a 6-pack of numbers that have been draw before?

    I already down load the 21 pages double column history and converted to 42 pages since I put them as one column

    So we have 2054 rows to check between them self for absolute PAIRS, and than we need to indicate with pair go with pair in case would be more than 1 or 2 (maybe by color, pair number, line number, ... )

    I find something, but was to find only by numbers and this don't work since I need row by row like on may/25/2013 the draw row was ($1$21$26$30$46$48) so have this row been draw before

    I am so lost, and I know this is going to be very labor intensive

    Just sort the data by ball numbers and look for matches in adjacent rows:

    Once again, if you sort by ball numbers, all you need to do is look in adjacent rows.

    There's no formula there: Data > Sort, sort by ball1, ball2, ball3, ...

    Re: Check repeated draw numbers on Florida lottery History > 2000 rows :(

    Tks again SHG, but I don't need to know how many times any ball was repeated, that would be just too many, I need to know if any (set of 6 balls/draw winner/row) ever listed at the list I provided, was ever listed twice or even more.

    would you please show me working your idea, maybe I am just blind, sorry

    Have a look at columns V & W in the attached. It is effectively doing what Shg had suggested you try.

    And after all that, the simple answer is "No, there are no duplicate draws in the data you provided".

    Have a look at post #12 where I have given you help.

    If that is NOT what you mean then you will have to explain further what is actually is that you DO need!!
