PCSO Lotto 6/42 System Bets – Learn How to Increase your Odds of Winning the Jackpot

You can increase 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 creates numerous combinations of your chosen numbers.

In case you want to try system bets, these are the options you can select from- 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 produced in System 7 because a bettor who marks this option would have to pick seven (7) numbers. In System 8, on the other hand, 28 combinations are generated because the bettor will need to pick a total of eight (8) numbers out of the numbers 1 to 42.

To sum it up, more and more number combinations are produced as the picked numbers increase. This same rule applies to the rest of the remaining system plays.

With regard to System 5R, you only pick five (5) numbers and if your 5 numbers match the winning combination, you automatically win the jackpot. This is because in System 5R, the 5 numbers you have selected are automatically partnered with each of the remaining 37 digits in the board, generating a total of 37 combinations.

Keep in mind that your overall bet cost will be much higher in system plays due to the higher number of combinations you will place your bet on. The overall ticket cost shall be PhP 20 times the number of combinations produced.
