Consider the Rolling5 game, the SuperLotto game, the ClassicLotto game, and the MegaMillions Game.
In each of these games the player picks five or six numbers of their choice.
If you add up those five or six numbers you get a result I call a SUM.
However, there are many different number combinations that can add up to the same SUM.
I have tabulated how many number combinations that there can be for the SUMs for each of the games.
In the Rolling5 game, the SUM will be between 15 and 185.

I would dearly love to calculate all of the possible SUMS for the Ten-OH game, but I don't own a powerful enough computer. If my computer could do a million calculations each second, it would take 112,027 years to calculate all of the sums for all 3,535,316,142,212,250,000 possible Ten-OH number combinations. All sums would be in the range from 210 to 1410.
