Ok so lets say numbers 1 to 25 if Any six are drawn out randomely what perm will guarantee that from the original 25 numbers, by using lines of six, at least 3 numbers will fall into one line of six.

no, there's no formula that will guarantee that any number will come up. You can only find the "chances" that a number or combination of numbers will be pulled through simple statistics

There is not, but u can calculate the posibillity for every permutation to come up.
Only assuming these 25 numbers are different. If they are all the same, here you go, you will always get the same permutation.

No permutation can guarantee this but look at the laws of probability to ascertain the likelyhood!

It sounds like the lottery with less numbers.

NO, because as you have said they are RANDOMLY drawn.
You could only guarantee three together if you 'cheated' or put constraints on it.
