You need a recursion to generate all the permutions for your lotto lines, off the top of my head I can’t think of the recursion but if you give me time I will try and locate one for you.

Try looking at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~lloyd/tildeAlgDS/Recn/ and http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~lloyd/tildeAlgDS/Recn/Perm/ and maybe www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr01s126/demo/powerpoint/demo-enumerate.ppt

Thanks! I'll take a look!
