I've made a Lottery Generator for Mega Millions and the lottery numbers are generated in a unique way,
the chart that I'm using looks like this:

I pick a array of numbers to be put under each Ball number (Ball 1 - Ball 5 + Mega Ball), and then have
it generated under each ball number in (Permutation) ascending order which it does. But I'm having 3 problems with it.


1st. as you can see from the generated numbers shown below in red it has repeats within the same lines of the combination.

2nd. The number 03 under ball 1 loops back to the 1st number under ball 2 which is 02 when it should go to the next
higher 11 under ball 2.

3rd. starts generating the combinations multiple times and won't stop until it reaches row 20001, I just
wanted it to generate it 1 time.

W3 =IF(SUM(X3:AB3)=0,MOD(W2+1,Sheet1!$H$18),W2)
X3 =IF(SUM(Y3:AB3)=0,MOD(X2+1,Sheet1!$J$18),X2)
Y3 =IF(SUM(Z3:AB3)=0,MOD(Y2+1,Sheet1!$L$18),Y2)
Z3 =IF(SUM(AA3:AB3)=0,MOD(Z2+1,Sheet1!$N$18),Z2)
AA3 =IF(SUM(AB3)=0,MOD(AA2+1,Sheet1!$P$18),AA2)
AB3 =MOD(AB2+1,Sheet1!$R$18)


Q2 =INDEX(Sheet1!$H$19:$H$26,'Lottery Generator'!W2+1)
R2 =INDEX(Sheet1!$J$19:$J$26,'Lottery Generator'!X2+1)
S2 =INDEX(Sheet1!$L$19:$L$26,'Lottery Generator'!Y2+1)
T2 =INDEX(Sheet1!$N$19:$N$26,'Lottery Generator'!Z2+1)
U2 =INDEX(Sheet1!$P$19:$P$26,'Lottery Generator'!AA2+1)
V2 =INDEX(Sheet1!$R$19:$R$26,'Lottery Generator'!AB2+1)


And I Fill from row 3 down as TO row 20001 as Total shows on 'Lottery Generator' Sheet
