Lotto 6/42 System Bets – How to Improve your Odds of Winning the Jackpot

6/42 Lotto System Bets allow players to pick more than the typical six (6) numbers per draw, thereby increasing their chances of winning the jackpot.

The system bets available in 6/42 Lotto are 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 player who picks this option would have to select seven (7) numbers. In System 8, on the other hand, 28 combinations are created because the bettor will have to mark a total of eight (8) numbers out of the numbers 1 to 42.

In the case of System 5R, you only select five (5) numbers and if your 5 numbers match the winning combination, you automatically win the jackpot.
