    Fano plane concept applied to lottery combinatorics



    I came across an interesting combinatorics optimisation description for 14numbers.
    Maybe someone good in combinatorics can expand this fano plane concept to a full 45 numbers lottery design. Any suggestions?

    Are you still assuming you win if you get 2 out of 3 chosen?

    Yes, if the 14combos from fano plane given in that link is correct.
    (1) find an optimal way to overlap different sets of 14 numbers to form 2 sets X 3combos =6numbers, without duplicating exactly any of 6numbers.

    (2) Expand the link's limited 14numbers fano plane method from scretch to cover N, numbers.

    Any idea how to go about (1) or (2)?
