Risk Factor

Unfortunately, there’s is no cheap guarantee upgrade as 3if3 coverage requires double the cost with a 4-line-ticket.
Break-Even
Since there is no guarantee beyond a single 3if3 with this wheel, matching some of all of your key numbers (1,2,3) will dictate the amount of prize money you will win.
The line cost, however, is quite cheap and if you’re able to match all of your key numbers, your wins can be few and far between while still being profitable.
- Match 3 = $10: every 4-9 draws… or
- Match 4 = $50: every 10-50 draws… or
- Match 5 = $500 : every 50-500 draws

- 10x prize for Match 3 → $10 prize / $1 ticket
- 50x prize for Match 4 → $50 prize / $1 ticket
- 50x prize for Match 5 → $500 prize / $1 ticket
