Grand Lotto System Plays – Learn How to Increase your Odds of Winning the Jackpot

6/55 Lotto System Bets allow players to pick more than the typical six (6) numbers per draw, thereby increasing their chances of winning the jackpot.

These are the options available in case you want to play system bets- System 7, System 8, System 9, System 10, System 11, System 12 and System 5-Roll (System 5R).

In System 7, a player selects 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 essence, more and more number combinations are produced as the picked numbers increase. This same rule applies to the rest of the remaining system plays.

In the case of System 5-Roll, the player will only need to choose five (5) numbers. The remaining (unmarked) 50 numbers will be partnered with the 5 chosen numbers. This produces a total of 50 six-number combinations.

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

The following table reflects the number of combination as well as the corresponding ticket cost per system bet.
