Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the reduced wheel 6 of 40 for Strike
The reduced wheel contains 6 combinations (tickets) — 60% fewer than the full wheel (15 combinations for 6 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 6 picks. In that case, at least one system ticket is guaranteed to contain all 3 of those matches.
Only the full wheel of 6 numbers (15 combinations) guarantees the jackpot. The reduced wheel trades that 100 % guarantee for a 60% ticket reduction: it guarantees at least 3 matches on one ticket whenever any 3 winning numbers fall within your 6 picks. The jackpot becomes a strong chance rather than a certainty.
Total cost = 6 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 6-of-40 wheel with guarantee 3 is roughly 60% cheaper than full coverage.
