Philippine Lotto 6/42 System Bets – Ways to Improve your Chances of Winning the Jackpot
6/42 Lotto System Bets allow players to pick more than the usual six (6) numbers per draw, thereby increasing their chances of winning the jackpot.
These are the choices available if you want to play system bets- System 7, System 8, System 9, System 10, System 11, System 12 and System 5-Roll (System 5R).
A total of seven (7) combinations are produced in System 7 because a bettor who selects this option would need to select seven (7) numbers. In System 8, on the other hand, 28 combinations are generated because the player will need to pick a total of eight (8) numbers out of the numbers 1 to 42.
The total number of combinations increases as the picked numbers increase. The same rule applies for System 9, System 10, System 11 and System 12.
With regard to System 5-Roll, the player will only have to choose five (5) numbers. The remaining (unmarked) 37 numbers will be partnered with the 5 marked numbers. This creates a total of 37 six-number combinations.
Please note that your overall bet cost will be much higher in system bets because of the higher number of combinations you will place your bet on. The overall ticket cost shall be PhP 20 multiplied by the number of combinations created.
Refer to the table below for more information on overall ticket cost for every Lotto 6/42 system play.
