1-2-3-4-5-6-7
1-2-3-4-5-6-8

2-3-4-5-6-7-8
The same method of combining numbers is repeated for each of the two sets of computer-generated numbers.
You will receive a single ticket from the retailer that will show the numbers you have chosen and two additional sets of eight computer-generated numbers. All possible combinations, however, will be recorded in the central computer.
