National Lotto 6/42 System Bets – Ways to Improve the Odds of Winning

You can improve your chances of winning the jackpot through 6/42 Lotto System Bets. This advanced option allows you to pick more than the usual six (6) numbers and produces numerous combinations of your chosen numbers.

The available system bets in 6/42 Lotto are System 5-Roll (System 5R), System 7, System 8, System 9, System 10, System 11 and System 12.

A total of seven (7) combinations are generated in System 7 because a player who chooses this option would need to pick seven (7) numbers. In System 8, on the other hand, 28 combinations are produced because the bettor will have to select a total of eight (8) numbers out of the numbers 1 to 42.

The more numbers selected, the higher the number of combinations created. Same rule applies in System 9, System 10, System 11 and in System 12.

In System 5R, a player marks only five (5) numbers and—for the sixth number—pairs these off with each of the remaining thirty-seven (37) numbers, generating a total of 37 combinations.

Note that the higher the number of combinations, the higher the total ticket cost will be. The total ticket cost is PhP 20 times the number of combinations generated.
