Thanks, i got it to work, but :-), i change to have two rules, to accommodate for a single powerball number at the end

first rule =COUNTIF($B$1:$f$1,B6)>=1
second rule =COUNTIF($g$1,g6)>=1

The above seem to work great for the 5 number plus a powerball number

But again thanks for sharing this Rule, I could have never figured this out without your help, thanks.

Hello David,Sorry for the inconvenience. The formula in the article =COUNTIF($B$2:$G$2,B6)>=1 is clearly wrong. Please use the new formula: =COUNTIF($B$1:$G$1,B6)>=1. Please see the screenshots. Hope it can solve your problem. Have a nice day.Sincerely,Mandy
