6/45 Mega Lotto System Plays – Increase the Odds of Winning

6/45 Lotto System Bets allow players to pick more than the usual six (6) numbers per draw, thereby increasing their chances of winning the jackpot.

In case you want to play system bets, these are the options you can choose from- System 5-Roll (System 5R), System 7, System 8, System 9, System 10, System 11 and System 12.

In System 7, a bettor marks seven (7) numbers which produces a total of seven (7) combinations. With System 8, on the other hand, the bettor marks a total of eight (8) numbers creating a total of 28 combinations.

In short, more and more number combinations are produced as the marked numbers increase. This same rule applies to the rest of the remaining system bets.

In System 5R, you only have to mark five (5) numbers instead of the typical six-number combination. The remaining unmarked numbers in the playing card (40 in all) will be matched with the 5 numbers you selected, thus generating 40 combinations in all.

Keep in mind that the higher the number of combinations, the higher the total ticket cost will be. The total price of the ticket is PhP 20 multiplied by the number of combinations created.

Refer to the table below for more information on overall ticket cost per Mega Lotto 6/45 system play.
