Description

DEVICE FOR SELECTING NUMBERS
1. The invention
The invention relates to a device for selecting an even plurality of, for instance six, numbers from a series of numbers, for instance 1-42.
In diverse lotteries a main prize is won by correctly forecasting a combination of six numbers from a series of for instance 36, 41, 42, 44, 45, 49, 54 or 56 numbers.
A second prize is for example won by forecasting a combination of five correctly predicted numbers, a third for four predicted numbers and a consolation prize for three predicted numbers.
The invention provides a device as designated in claim 1 with which one or more consolation prizes can with certainty be won and wherein at least the chances of third and second prizes are increased in the case the game is played with a complete series of combination indicators.
Mentioned and other features of the invention will be elucidated in the description following hereinbelow with reference to a drawing. In the drawings, by way of example:
Figures 1 and 5 show perspective, broken away views of a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention respectively prior to and during use;
Figure 2 shows the rear side of the device of figure
1;
Figures 3 and 4 show respectively the front and rear of the indicator carrier of the device of figure 1.
The device 31 of figure 1 serves to select six numbers from a series of 42 numbers. A sleeve-like number carrier which is formed by an external sleeve 32 has a front side 4 and a rear side 5. Positioned on the front side are 42 receiving locations 7 for receiving a series of 42 numbers as pairs 6 of two numbers. These pairs 6 are divided into two groups 1 and 2 which are as equal as possible and which are disposed respectively above and below an elongate window 10. Since the plurality of 21 pairs is not divisible by two, group 1 has eleven pairs 6 and group 2 one pair fewer, that is, only ten pairs 6. The receiving locations 7 are empty before use (figure 1) and in figure 5 are filled in by a user at his choice such that each number between 1-42 only occurs once. An indicator carrier is slidable as a slide 3 of cardboard or like stiff material in the external sleeve and bears a series of combination indicators to indicate combinations of pairs 6 of receiving locations 7. Each combination indicator consists of a line of points and three crosses arranged at a mutual distance a on this line, which mutual distance a corresponds with the mutual distance b of the centres of the receiving locations 7. The receiving locations 7 per pair 6 and the positions of points and crosses respectively are situated at equal distances c from the inner edge 11 of the sleeve 32 as the positions of the points and crosses respectively of the slide 3 are situated at corresponding equal distances c from the side edge 12. The pairs 6 are designated with lines 13 in the direction of the window 10. In the relative position "11" of the sleeve 32 and slide 3 of figure 1, the combination of the numbers of the group 1 from the six receiving compartments 7 are indicated above the three crosses. According to figure 5 these are the numbers 22, 25, 28, 42, 30 and 39. From group 2 are also designated the numbers 18, 40, 9, 38, 36 and 24. These two number combinations can then be filled into two number squares of a lottery ticket.
The particular slide position, for instance the eleventh, is visible. All lines of points and crosses (number combination indicators) are numbered at the side with serial numbers which can be read through a window 15 adjacent to window 10. Number combination indicators are present both on the front side and the rear side of slide 3. By sliding the slide 3 upside down in the sleeve 32, still other combinations of pairs 6 of receiving locations 7 are designated with the same lines of points and crosses. The serial numbers, which are arranged in figure 1 on the right-hand side of slide 3 and which are then turned upside down and are not visible during use, will be visible in the correct manner in the window when the slide 3 is inserted upside down. Use of the device 31 according to the invention ensures that three numbers of this lottery draw (6 out of 42) (Belgian lottery) will have been correctly selected at least twice, while the chances of mo:; a correctly forecast numbers are increased, assuming that 285 squares of lottery tickets are filled in as according to all the indicators of the indicator carrier formed by the slide 3.
The sleeve 32 contains on the front a compartment 16 with the text "maybe 6, sometimes 5, often 4 ... but ALWAYS 3". In addition there is a further compartment 17 for an attractive illustration and a compartment 18 for a slogan, advertising message or the lire. The rear of the sleeve 32 contains instructions for use 19 and for instance a compartment 20 for a mark symbol.

General information Supply of numbers = X (total is even)
Supply of numbers = Y (total is uneven) Number of drawn numbers = 6 A. SUPPLY
- - - - - - - - 1. I divide the total supply X by 20 the total supply is divided into two proportional groups : group 1 and group 2.
The six drawn numbers are to be found in group 1 or group 2, or in both groups :
Figure imgf000006_0002
2. I cannot divide the total supply Y by 2⇒ I omit a random
number from the total supply.
I divide the reduced supply by 2 ⇒ The reduced supply is divided into two proportional groups : group 1 and group 2.
2.1. If the omitted number is not one of the six drawn numbers, the six drawn numbers can then be found in group 1 or group 2, or in both groups, (see A.1.)
2.2. If the omitted number is the same as one of the six drawn
numbers, the remaining five numbers are then to be found in group 1 or group 2, or in both groups :
Figure imgf000006_0001
I cannot divide the total supply Y by 2 ⇒ I increase the total supply with a random number, to be found in the total supply, which random number is added to that group of the two groups 1 and 2, in which this random number did not yet occur.
I divide the increased supply by 2 ⇒ the increased supply is divided into two proportional groups : group 1 and group 2. The six drawn numbers are to be found in group 1 or group 2, or in both groups (see A.l.)
B. GROUPS AND PAIRS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I split Group 1 and Group 2 into pairs of two numbers. To be able to do this the groups 1 and 2 must fulfill the following condition: They must each have an even plurality of numbers.
1. If both groups fulfill the condition the total supply X (ref.
A.1) or the reduced supply Y (ref A.2.1 and A.2.2) or the increased supply Y (ref. A.3) is split into two proportional groups, each containing a proportional plurality of pairs.
2. If both groups do "not" fulfill this condition both groups will have to be rearranged, this in the following manner:
We equate the supply X (ref. A.1) or the reduced supply Y (ref. A.2.1 and A.2.2) or the increased supply Y (ref. A.3) with Z.
Group 1 = (Z divided by 2) plus 1. ⇒ Group 1 is divisible by 2.
Group 2 = (Z divided by 2) minus 1. ⇒ Group 2 is divisible by 2.
CONCLUSION: The supply X (ref. A.l) or the reduced
supply Y (ref A.2.1 and A.2.2) or the increased supply Y (ref. A.3) is split into
two disproportional groups, the first
group containing 1 pair (=2 numbers) more
than the second group.

C. MINIMUM NUMBER OF COMBINATIONS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It follows from the conclusions elucidated in points A and B the..: the original supply of numbers is either retained or reduced by one number or increased with one number.
We have split the new supply of numbers, which is either the same as, or larger or smaller than the original supply of numbers into 2 groups of pairs, of which the one group contains a maximum of 1 pair more than the other group and of which at least one group contains 3 correct numbers.
CONCLUSION :
THE MINIMUM PLURALITY OF COMBINATIONS OF SIX NUMBERS REQUIRED TO HAVE AT LEAST THREE CORRECT NUMBERS IS EQUAL TO THE PLURALITY OF COMBINATIONS OF THREE PAIRS FROM ALL THE PAIRS IN GROUP 1 "PLUS" THE PLURALITY OF COMBINATIONS OF THREE PAIRS FROM ALL THE PAIRS IN GROUP 2.
Example: National Lottery of Belgium...
1. Supply = 42 numbers
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1st group = (42÷2 ) +1 = 22 numbers = 11 pairs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2nd group = (42÷2 ) -1 = 20 numbers = 10 pa. rs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Plurality of combinations = C(11,3) + C(10,3) = 165+120 = 285
Example: German Lottery...
2. Supply = 49 numbers ⇒ reduction⇒ 49-1 = 48 numbers
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1st group = (48÷2 ) = 24 numbers = 12 pairs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2nd group = (48÷2 ) = 24 numbers = 12 pairs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Plurality of combinations = C(12,3) + C(12,3) = 220+220 = 440 Example: German Lottery...
3. Supply = 49 numbers ⇒ increase ⇒ 49+1 = 50 numbers 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1st group = ( 50÷2 ) +1 - 26 numbers = 13 pairs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2nd group = (50÷2 ) -1 = 24 numbers = 12 pairs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Plurality of combinations = C(13,3) + C(12,3) = 286+220 = 506
Conclusion : 1st example ⇒ at least 3 correct numbers in 2 combinations ...
2nd example ⇒ at least 3 correct numbers in 1 combination...
3rd example ⇒ at least 3 correct numbers in 2 combinations ...
3. THE INTERNAL SLIDE...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The internal slide represents all possible combinations of three pairs. To illustrate the scope of the plurality of combinations in an accessible manner I make use of reflected combinations ...
Example: Belgian Lotto : 42 numbers = 11 pairs + 10 pairs
Figure imgf000011_0002
In this manner the physical representation on the internal slide of all combinations of three pairs (with the exception of all identical reflected combinations (see below)) is reduced by half.
If the largest group (or both groups if they contain the same plurality of pairs) contain (s) an uneven plurality of pairs we find some combinations that have an identical reflected combination...
Example: Belgian Lotto... The largest group is the first group...
Figure imgf000011_0001
»
It is self-evident that these combinations must be created not twice but only once.
The inventor opted for the solution of placing the identical reflected combinations before all other combinations. The combination count on the first and upward side of the slide, to be read in a recess intended for this purpose on the external sleeve, starts at the first combination which does not have an identical reflected combination. Each combination is provided with a serial number upward and a serial number downward, apart from the identical reflected combinations, which are only provided with a downward serial number.
NB. In order to have a combination there have to be three crosses above the bottom group. The top group always has a combination.
Example:
Figure imgf000012_0001
4. THE EXTERNAL SLEEVE ...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The external sleeve provides a double recess ...
On the one hand a recess which reveals the upward serial number arranged on the internal slide; on the other hand a recess which reveals the combination according to the serial number arranged on the internal slide.
Above and below the second recess the invention provides a row of blank pairs, to be filled in by the user at his choice taking account of the following facts :
1. If no increase or reduction of the supply is required, all
numbers of the supply must then be used once.
Example: Belgian Lotto : 42 NUMBERS
Figure imgf000013_0001
2. If reduction of the supply is required, all numbers of the
supply, with the exception of the omitted number, must then be used once...
Example: German Lotto : 49 NUMBERS
Figure imgf000013_0002
3. If increase of the supply is opted for, all numbers of the
supply must then be used once.
A separate box provides the possibility of filling in an additional lucky number...
Example: German Lotto : 49 NUMBERS
Figure imgf000013_0003
5. SOME SPECIAL FEATURES ...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
1. Checking for wins ...
Circle all drawn numbers on the sleeve.
Check with the internal slide.
Crosses below 3 or more numbers = BINGO
2. Playing with a limited plurality of numbers, using a single group.
Example: Playing 16 numbers on the Belgian Lotto.
Fill in 16 numbers, in pairs and going from left to right.
Figure imgf000014_0002
Make all combinations of three pairs using the internal slide. (3 crosses below the 8 pairs)
If 3 or more drawn numbers are identical to the selected numbers, you then have at least a combination with at least three correct numbers .
3. Playing with a limited plurality of numbers, using 2 groups.
Example: Playing 20 numbers on the Belgian Lotto.
Fill in 20 numbers, in pairs of four and going from left to right.
Figure imgf000014_0001
Make all combinations of three pairs using the internal slide. (3 crosses above and below the 10 pairs)
If 5 or more drawn numbers are identicall to the 20 selected numbers, you have at the very least a combination with at least three correct numbers.
