Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the reduced wheel 12 of 42 for Lotto 6/42
The reduced wheel contains 15 combinations (tickets) — 98% fewer than the full wheel (924 combinations for 12 of 6). Each ticket matches the Lotto 6/42 rules: 6 numbers out of 42.
Guarantee 3 is the minimum number of matches on a single ticket that the wheel ensures if any 3 winning numbers are among your 12 picks. In that case, at least one system ticket is guaranteed to contain all 3 of those matches.
Only the full wheel of 12 numbers (924 combinations) guarantees the jackpot. The reduced wheel trades that 100 % guarantee for a 98% ticket reduction: it guarantees at least 3 matches on one ticket whenever any 3 winning numbers fall within your 12 picks. The jackpot becomes a strong chance rather than a certainty.
Total cost = 15 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 6/42 draw. On average, the 12-of-42 wheel with guarantee 3 is roughly 98% cheaper than full coverage.
