There is an online generator at http://www.bingocardmaker.co.uk, which generates the numbers in blocks of 6 cards, where every number from 1-90 is used. This is how the UK style books are usually printed, so that if you buy 6 tickets you are sure to have every number once and only once. Makes the generation routine a little trickier.

@Vir.. Thank you.

you can easily modify the formulas and add a macro to do this. The file is unlocked, so feel free to make the changes..

Hello Chandoo,
Awesome tool! .. I loved it.

Is there a way to tweak the generator so that I only generates no more than 4 tickets a worksheet (Make it nice and clean to print)?

I want to print more than a 1000 of these tickets, so dont want to click on refresh button 250 times.. so if once I click refresh, is it possible to generate 50 or so worksheet at a time? So that I can click refresh 4 times and get my 1000 tickets?

Please let me know of your thoughts.

Thanks
Vir

@Shyaamal I guess the ticket generator should be able to make obscenely high number of unique tickets. since the process is randomized, you might see same tickets twice…

Jai,
I might be able to generate the 130,000,000 serial numbers in an Excel workbook (.xls). Possibly Ten million numbers on each of thirteen worksheets.
It would have to be on a paid basis.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I understand its good for printing business and lot of vendors are already approaching us.

Issue is of generating these 5*5 tickets and each ticket to have unique 8-10 digit identity code.

Basically below is the requirement

***********
Each sheet will have 26 tickets

Each ticket have 5*5 grid acc to the US 1-75 number system but with no free space

Each ticket has a unique 8-10 digit pin code
We plan to print 5 million sheets (each sheet having 26 tickets)

There will be 1.25 million sheets which will be unique and the balance sheets (3.75m) will have the same tickets
However pin code will be unique in each ticket and hence there will be 5*26=130million unique pin codes
These output needs to come on an excel or as a PDF file in the same format as the sheet
*************
Let me know if you can guide me of such software or program that can be used by me for ticket generation.

Thanks

Jai
