Free lottery wheel generator with three distinct modes: Full Wheel (every possible combination, 100% coverage), Abbreviated Wheel (budget-capped, greedy set-cover algorithm), and AI Wheel (frequency-weighted using real draw history, members only). Works for pick-3 through pick-10, Powerball, and Mega Millions.
Every possible combination from your pool. Guaranteed 100% coverage.

Lottery Wheeling
A lottery wheel system organizes a pool of your chosen numbers into all — or a mathematically optimized subset of — possible ticket combinations. It eliminates random overlap so every dollar you spend has a defined purpose. It doesn't change your odds of any number being drawn, but it does change how thoroughly you cover your number pool.
Instead of picking random tickets, wheeling creates combinations mathematically — ensuring your numbers appear together in a planned, consistent way across every ticket. There are three main wheel types, each suited to a different budget and goal:

3 Wheel Types
Full, abbreviated, and AI-powered — each designed for a different budget and coverage goal.

Each wheel type solves a different problem. Understanding the tradeoffs helps you pick the right approach before generating a single combination.

100% coverage — every possible ticket included.
Best For
Group pools, small pools (6–9 numbers), one-time high-jackpot draws
Cost Note

How It Works
Greedy set-cover algorithm — set your guarantee level and ticket limit, the tool finds the highest-coverage subset
Draw-frequency weighted
Combinations biased toward historically active numbers. Uses a greedy set-cover algorithm with frequency weights derived from historical draw data (z-score normalized over 30, 90, or 180 days). Three optimization goals produce meaningfully different ticket sets.
Best For
Data-driven players, Powerball/Mega Millions regulars
Access
Unlock AI WheelStep by Step
The tool has three modes — Full Wheel, Abbreviated Wheel, and AI Wheel. Each uses a different generation method. Here's how to use any of them.
Select Full Wheel, Abbreviated Wheel, or AI Wheel from the tab selector at the top of the tool. Full Wheel generates every possible combination. Abbreviated Wheel lets you set a ticket limit. AI Wheel (members only) weights combinations using real historical draw frequency data.
Click the numbers you want to wheel from the interactive number grid. You can wheel 6 or more numbers. In AI Wheel mode, numbers are color-coded by historical draw frequency — gold for hot, slate for cold.
For Full Wheel: set pick size, max draw number, and optionally add bonus ball numbers. For Abbreviated Wheel: set your guarantee level and max ticket count. For AI Wheel: select your game to load its configuration and frequency data, then set your budget and pick an optimization goal.
Click Generate. Your full ticket list appears in the Tickets tab. Switch to the Report tab to see your Wheel Report Card — coverage grade, efficiency grade, guarantee grade, and (AI mode) hot-number bias grade.
Copy all combinations to clipboard, download as CSV, email the list to yourself, or print a hard copy. Always export before the draw closes — don't rely on memory.
Real Examples
See exactly what the tool generates for three common scenarios — full wheel, abbreviated, and Powerball with bonus ball.
Example 1 — Full Wheel, Pick-6, 7 Numbers
C(7, 6) = 7 tickets. Every possible 6-number combination of the pool {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} is included.
If the winning draw is any 6 of your 7 numbers, one of these tickets matches exactly at the jackpot tier. That is the full wheel guarantee.
Example 2 — Abbreviated Wheel (Limit=5), Pick-6, 8 Numbers
With a limit of 5, you get exactly 5 tickets — not the full C(8, 6) = 28 combinations. The system selects the best-coverage subset.
No guaranteed match — but all 8 numbers appear across the 5 combinations, and cost stays at $10 instead of $56.
Example 3 — Powerball, Full Wheel + Bonus Ball, 5 Main Numbers
C(5, 5) = 1 main combination × 26 Powerball values = 26 total tickets. Every possible Powerball number is paired with your 5 main numbers.
Enable the bonus ball toggle and set the range to 26. If your 5 main numbers match the draw, one of these 26 tickets wins the jackpot.

Why Use It
Honest Cost Note
A full wheel scales exponentially. 10 numbers in pick-6 = 210 combinations = $420 at $2/ticket. Use the combination limit or choose abbreviated mode to control spend.
Always budget before generating. Full wheels are best suited for group pools where cost is shared, or for small number pools where the total ticket count stays manageable. Always budget before generating.
Avoid These
Most wheeling errors are easy to avoid once you know what to watch for. These six come up most often.
Preview C(n, k) before generating. 12 numbers in pick-6 = 924 combinations = $1,848 at $2/ticket. Always check the count first.
Full wheels above 10 numbers are designed for groups where cost is split. Solo players should use the combination limit to generate an abbreviated wheel instead.
Full wheels guarantee a match at the target tier only if your number pool contains the winning numbers. They do not change the probability that your pool will contain those numbers.
Wheeling rewards consistency. Randomly swapping your number pool every draw removes the structural advantage of the wheel and turns it back into random play.
For Powerball or Mega Millions, always enable the bonus ball toggle and set the correct range. Without it, your combinations are incomplete and will not match the actual game format.
Generate and immediately email, print, or copy your combination list. Do not rely on memory or assume you will return to the tool — always export before the draw closes.
