Number elimination

[Frank]

Well before I was rudely interrupted in the other forum I was testing a number elimination system, which was attempting to capture a Lotto result within a reduced set of numbers, albeit a large set.
These are the numbers I posted for draw 1409..
1 5 6 7 9 11 12 13 15 16 19 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 28 30 31 33 34 35 37 38 39 42 44 45 47 49

By chance alone one can get about match 4 with 32 numbers, which on a full wheel would cover about 906,000 lines. Better than match 4 , preferably match 6 would show the system worked (in this example) by elimnating 17 numbers. We shall see how it goes on..
