Pick 6 | 10 Number Wheel Trap (6if6)

Get full jackpot coverage of any 10-number combinations using 210 lines. With any 3if3 match, you’ll be guaranteed 35 prizes. Nearly every ticket is a winner from 4+Bonus matches onward, while match 4 offers a 45% prize rate.

Playing Tips

As you exceed more lines per draw, you’ll exponentially increase your number of losing tickets. Plays like these are best left when doubling-up your winnings or taken a chance when you feel your numbers are due to come up.

If you want to increase your draws until break-even, look for a lottery (like Lotto 649) that offers match 4/match 5 payouts based on the prize pool. A match 5 with a 80-100x payout rate is ideal.

10 Numbers | 210 Lines

The cost of running the gauntlet with 10 numbers is 30x that of a 7-number full wheel, and 2.5x that an 9-number full wheel. It’s definitely not for the weary and you should be absolute sure 3-4 number will shows within a few draws.

Guaranteed Wins

Matching 3 numbers on ticket will guarantee you 35 wins, so you will need at least 5x prize here to come close to break even.

If you match 4+Bonus or more, you’ll win prizes on 155+ tickets.

Free Tickets

A Match 3 will also produce Match 2 (45x), so there’s lot of opportunity for free tickets if your lottery supports it.

• Match Only Bonus: 35 free tickets
• Match 1+Bonus: 35 free tickets or 21x for match only bonus.
• Match 2: 35 free tickets

Risk Factor

This ticket is best played with higher prize limit on Match 4 and Match 5 prizes. At this point you might also want to consider a 5if5 play as it’s only 50 lines when using 10 numbers.

• 10x prize for Match 3 → $10 prize / $1 ticket
• 75x prize for Match 4 → $50 prize / $1 ticket
• 750x prize for Match 5 → $500 prize / $1 ticket

Break-Even

• Match 3 = $10: every 2 draws… or
• Match 4 = $75: every 9 draws… or
• Match 5 = $750 : every 40 draws

Wheel Summary

While you increase your odds by adding an extra ball, the break-even stats again take a big hit due to the low payouts on small wins.

Small, match 3 or match 4 prizes here will not be very profitable and you only play this when you have a good chance of 4 of your numbers coming up.
