890 = ticket 90
776 = ticket 76
345 = ticket 45

If somebody can rig the lottery I think they would rig it for a better prize than your car (nothing against your car but I think winning the lottery would be more fun for most people)

This seems to work out pretty good there.



this works for 100 tickets quite well for other numbers you would have to translate the numbers into what your numbers need to be in your orginal offer.

20 tickets

00-19

you drop the first number and use the second two numbers. if the first number of the second two numbers is even you call it a 0 if it is odd you call it a 1 and then whatever the last number is you just use that. As long as you make sure that everybody has an equal chance to win.
