Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the reduced wheel 10 of 40 for Strike
The reduced wheel contains 30 combinations (tickets) — 86% fewer than the full wheel (210 combinations for 10 of 4). Each ticket matches the Strike rules: 4 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 10 picks. In that case, at least one system ticket is guaranteed to contain all 3 of those matches.
Only the full wheel of 10 numbers (210 combinations) guarantees the jackpot. The reduced wheel trades that 100 % guarantee for a 86% ticket reduction: it guarantees at least 3 matches on one ticket whenever any 3 winning numbers fall within your 10 picks. The jackpot becomes a strong chance rather than a certainty.
Total cost = 30 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 Strike draw. On average, the 10-of-40 wheel with guarantee 3 is roughly 86% cheaper than full coverage.
