How do I highlight the winning ticket under different condition, like one colour for those that got 5 numbers and a different one for those that only got 4
You'll have to set up a separate rule for each colour. In the rule's formula, check for a specific count, instead of ">1". For example: =COUNTIF($C$3:$H$3,C6)=4
FYI: I've only managed to use the formula with a semicolon within my table: =COUNTIF($B$1:$G$1;B3)>=1 otherwise, i got the error, that the formula is wrong. Using office 2013 with the latest service packs and updates.
