The following is an example of an abbreviated wheeling system for a pick-6 lottery with 10 numbers, 4 if 4 guarantee, and the minimum possible number of combinations for that guarantee (20). A template for an abbreviated wheeling system is given as 20 combinations on the numbers from 1 to 10.
One must divide the number of combinations producing the given result by the total number of possible combinations (for example, () =,,).The numerator equates to the number of ways to select the winning numbers multiplied by the number of ways to select the losing numbers.
For example, a digital door lock with a 4-digit code (each digit having 10 possibilities, from 0 to 9) would have B (10, 4) solutions, with length 10 000. Therefore, only at most 10 000 + 3 = 10 003 (as the solutions are cyclic) presses are needed to open the lock, whereas trying all codes separately would require 4 × 10 000 = 40 000 presses.
Pick 5's first drawing was on August 26, 2008, under the name Quinto. It is a five-digit game, drawn twice a day (at 1:10 p.m. ET, with the numbers posted on the Lottery's website after 1:35 p.m. ET, and on the live televised drawing at 6:59 p.m. ET), seven days a week. The minimum play in Pick 5 is $1.
Log–log graph of the probability that a number starts with the digit(s) n, for a distribution satisfying Benford's law. The points show the exact formula, P(n) = log 10 (1 + 1/n). The graph tends towards the dashed asymptote passing through (1, log 10 e) with slope −1 in log–log scale. The example in yellow shows that the probability of a ...
"subtract if possible, otherwise add": a(0) = 0; for n > 0, a(n) = a(n − 1) − n if that number is positive and not already in the sequence, otherwise a(n) = a(n − 1) + n, whether or not that number is already in the sequence.

The number associated in the combinatorial number system of degree k to a k-combination C is the number of k-combinations strictly less than C in the given ordering. This number can be computed from C = {c k, ..., c 2, c 1} with c k > ... > c 2 > c 1 as follows.
