    I'm looking for how MANY combinations? I dont need a list but wondering how many?

    39 total numbers to choose from. (1-39)
    It takes 6/6 to win the jackpot.

    I choose my favorite 9 numbers. How many combinations with those 9 numbers?

    Ken

    To cover your 9 numbers, it would take only 84 combinations.

    Use nCr formula. n=9 (your total numbers) and r=6 (since each ticket can only be 6 numbers)

    9C6=84.
