 This may have been discussed to death here already, but I only just
re-subscribed to this group, so apologies in advance.

 I just saw an ad on TV for the 'Marion Petrick' (sp?) Lottery picker.

 All this this does is given a list of 14 numbers, it arranges them in
 groups of 6 for 12/15/20/40(etc.. ) tickets to maximize your chances
 at winning. So if at leat 3 of your 14 numbers are drawn you should
 have at least 9 winning tickets. You should get the idea.
 
   Question: Does anyone have source to do this or a description of
 how to do this? I am not a numerical analysis whiz (I'm a computer
 geek :-)) so lots of theory is not going to help me..
