| Box Bet |
|
A numbers game wager where the player selects numbers without regard to the order in which they are drawn. For example, if the numbers "1,2,3" are drawn, the combinations "1,2,3", "1,3,2", "2,1,3", "2,3,1", "3,1,2", and "3,2,1" all win under a box bet.

| Boxed |
|
A way of betting a three- or four-digit number that will pay off if the three or four numbers you picked are drawn in any order. So, for example, if you play the number 374, you will win if the number drawn is 3-7-4, 3-4-7, 7-3-4, 7-4-3, 4-7-3 or 4-3-7

| Boxing |
|
As in a Boxing System. This is a system used to play more digits than you could normally play in a three- or four-digit numbers game. It works just like Wheeling Systems do for lotto games. As an example, let's say you have five digits you think are good possibilities for tonight's three-digit numbers drawing (such as 1, 4, 5, 7, 8). If you just mix and match those five digits into three-digit numbers you will probably leave at least one of the ten possible combinations they form (boxed play) unplayed. A Boxing System gives the exact placement of the five digits in all ten combinations so that there are no holes -- and guarantees a boxed winner if the three digits drawn are among the five you selected
