Hi Margaret, As I understand it each ticket will contain 10, 3-digit numbers, so your example of 000,197,245,367,445,569,618,777,842,964 is one ticket. If this is correct then you have 100 choices for the first 3-digit number on the ticket, the numbers from 000 to 099. Once you have decided on the first 3-digit number you have 100 choices for the second 3-digit number, the numbers from 100 to 199 and so on. Thus in total you have \[100 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100 \times 100\] possible tickets. That's $100,000,000,000,000,000,000$ tickets. Way too many to list! Penny | ||||||||||||
