| Wheeling System |
|
A way of organizing lotto-type game play to improve chances of winning multiple tier-prizes. Wheeling Systems "arrange" a group of selections (8, 10, 12 numbers or more) into multiple games that give either full or partial coverage of all the possible combinations of those selections. A full wheel covers all permutations of the selected numbers and is usually very expensive. If the numbers drawn are present in your group of selections, though, you are guaranteed a winning ticket. An "abbreviated" system is much cheaper. It does not guarantee a jackpot, but usually guarantees tier prizes.
