Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the reduced wheel 30 of 40 for Lotto
The reduced wheel contains 225 combinations (tickets) — 100% fewer than the full wheel (593775 combinations for 30 of 6). Each ticket matches the Lotto rules: 6 numbers out of 40.
Guarantee 3 is the minimum number of matches on a single ticket that the wheel ensures if any 3 winning numbers are among your 30 picks. In that case, at least one system ticket is guaranteed to contain all 3 of those matches.
Only the full wheel of 30 numbers (593775 combinations) guarantees the jackpot. The reduced wheel trades that 100 % guarantee for a 100% ticket reduction: it guarantees at least 3 matches on one ticket whenever any 3 winning numbers fall within your 30 picks. The jackpot becomes a strong chance rather than a certainty.
Total cost = 225 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 30-of-40 wheel with guarantee 3 is roughly 100% cheaper than full coverage.
