Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to queuing and processing ticket objects associated with combinations of numbers to enforce a process of elimination for a ticket event. A ticket array for a ticket event may be generated. The ticket array may comprise a plurality of combinations of numbers consisting of combinations of unprocessed numbers and combinations of processed numbers. A ticket object associated with the ticket event may be received from a client computing device. The ticket object may comprise a combination of selected numbers that are added to a ticket queue.

Abstract: A hole cutter has a substantially cylindrical blade body defining a blade body circumference, a cutting edge formed on one end of the blade body, and an axially-elongated slot formed through the substantially cylindrical blade body. The axially-elongated slot is configured to receive chips flowing from the cutting edge within the interior of the blade body and (i) into the slot and/or (ii) through the slot, to prevent the collection of such chips within the interior of the blade body and/or at an interface between the blade body and the work piece. The axially-elongated slot defines a first end adjacent to the cutting edge, a second end axially spaced further from the cutting edge, and a slot area. The hole cutter further defines a total slot area to blade body circumference ratio within the range of about 0.1 to about 0.3 depending on the size of the hole cutter.
