If you started to write out all the combinations at the start of the year 2015. At 12 hours per day.
You will have covered all the combinations, without making any mistakes or stopping for tea breaks,
in the year 2020, sometime after April.

How long will it take to find the winning ticket?
Report One footed pony March 9, 2015 8:40 PM GMT
At a rate of 7200 combinations per day.
600 per hour, or 10 per minute.
Anything less would lessen the chances of winning.

So 10 lines would cover 1 minute of approx 5.4 years,
at 12 hours per day.
If you are still with me, you would own 1 minute of
23,300.00 hours.
Put simply : You would own...

1 line   owns 6 seconds of 23,300.00 hours
10 lines owns 1 minute of 23,300.00 hours
20 lines owns 2 minutes of 23,300.00 hours etc...
600 lines owns 1 hour of 23,300.00 hours

Anyway, good luck with yours.

They need to make the slips the same as a placepot/scoop6 slip. You could cover every permutation in under a minute then. Could you imagine the chaos it'd cause when people take a slip to the counter with 10 numbers filled in and the cashier asks them for £50k!!!

This thing was sort of done on the Irish Lottery in 1990.

You might get through the first three hundred hours easily enough,
but the next twenty three thousand hours would stack up.
To cover ten numbers fully(210 lines), you would own twenty one minutes
(21 minutes) of the twenty three thousand three hundred hours.
(21 minutes of 23,300.00 hours). Based on the above calculations.
With one line (1 line) covering six seconds (6 seconds).
