Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the reduced wheel 25 of 40 for Lotto
The reduced wheel contains 992 combinations (tickets) — 99% fewer than the full wheel (177100 combinations for 25 of 6). Each ticket matches the Lotto rules: 6 numbers out of 40.
Guarantee 4 is the minimum number of matches on a single ticket that the wheel ensures if any 4 winning numbers are among your 25 picks. In that case, at least one system ticket is guaranteed to contain all 4 of those matches.
Only the full wheel of 25 numbers (177100 combinations) guarantees the jackpot. The reduced wheel trades that 100 % guarantee for a 99% ticket reduction: it guarantees at least 4 matches on one ticket whenever any 4 winning numbers fall within your 25 picks. The jackpot becomes a strong chance rather than a certainty.
Total cost = 992 tickets × the ticket price. The current ticket price and final total are shown in the boxes above on this page — values are taken from the latest Lotto draw. On average, the 25-of-40 wheel with guarantee 4 is roughly 99% cheaper than full coverage.
