Hi All,
After playing around with UK Lottery results and number selecting for the past few weeks, I've come accross an instance where I want to test if a certain pool of numbers has won a prize in the past 'x' amount of draws.
Ok, simple as I can, this is what I've got:
1> A pool of (in this case) 17 numbers picked at random. - These are placed in cells A1:A17.
2> A list of previous winning balls from the past 1162 UK Lottery draws (excluding bonus ball). Draw 1 is at B2:G2, going down to draw 1162 at B1163:G1163.
Now then, what I'm after is:
In the cell to the right of each line of draw numbers I want to know how many numbers from my pool of 17 cropped up in that particular draw. A simple figure, no text required. i.e: if all 6 winning balls were in my pool of 17, the cell would state '6', and so on.
I have seen a similar thread on this site which included a file called 'Lottery Checker'. I have played with that, but couldn't quite get it to work for me.
Any help would be fantastic. Cheers guys.
