Pick 6Wheels

Pick 6 | 9 Number Wheel Trap (6if6)

Get full jackpot coverage of any 9-number combinations using 84 lines. With any 3if3 match, you’ll be guaranteed 20 prizes. Every ticket is a winner from 4+B matches onward, while match 4 offers a 62.5% 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.

9 Numbers | 84 Lines

The cost of running the gauntlet with 9 numbers is 12x that of a 7-number full wheel, and 3x that an 8-number full wheel. You will however get 2x the number of matches from this play by adding an extra ball.

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 a low ticket cost and high value, small prizes.

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

Break-Even

  • Match 3 = $10: every 2.5 draws… or
  • Match 4 = $50: every 11 draws… or
  • Match 5 = $500 : every 46 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. You’ll will require a lot of free tickets match to make up for the extra number of losing tickets per draw.

At this point you might also want to consider a 5if5 play or a lottery with a 1000x payout for a match 5 prize.
