You're not lost at all, that's my feeling.
- start with the foll gaps:

A A A A A A
all gaps equal.
- only (1) one gaps combination.

I'll choose (by statistical surway) A=4,
so there are
(36-(4+4+4+4+4))x1=36-20=16 Lotto combination.

1 5 9 13 17 21
2 6 10 14 18 22
3 7 11 15 19 23
4 8 12 16 20 24
5 9 13 17 21 25
6 10 14 18 22 26------ all 5
7 11 15 19 23 27
8 12 16 20 24 28
9 13 17 21 25 29
10 14 18 22 26 30----- all 6
11 15 19 23 27 31
12 16 20 24 28 32
13 17 21 25 29 33
14 18 22 26 30 34------ all 5
15 19 23 27 31 35
16 20 24 28 32 36

Well, what's the next step?
Write these 16 combinations on the tickets ;)

Winning balls dropped out from the mixer like this:
10 14 18 22 26 30
see above.
--------------------------------

But, suppose I choose for gaps ABBBB.
"4 the same"
There are alltogether 5 gaps combination:

ABBBB
BABBB
BBABB
BBBAB
BBBBA

(I call it 'diagonal' :))

I'll choose (by statistical surway) A=1, B=4
so there are
(36-(1+4+4+4+4))x5=(36-17)x5=135 Lotto combination.

Group-1: ABBBB (1, 4, 4, 4, 4)
1 2 6 10 14 18
2 3 7 11 15 19
......................... cut
19 20 24 28 32 36

Group-2: BABBB (4, 1, 4, 4, 4)
1 5 6 10 14 18
2 6 7 11 15 19
......................... cut
19 23 24 28 32 36

------------------------ cut (group)

Group-5: BABBB (4, 4, 4, 4, 1)
1 5 9 13 17 18
2 6 10 14 18 19
......................... cut
19 23 27 31 35 36

==========================
Question:

If I catch all 5 gaps (ABCDE), is it possible
to calculate, how many my Lotto
combinations will have 5, 4, 3 shoots?
- OK., there will be 1 with all 6 .)
