With Lotto 6/49 Combination play, you can pick five-, seven-, eight-, or nine-number combinations out of 49 numbers. You simply mark your choice of five (44 possible sets of six numbers), seven (7), eight (28), or nine (84) numbers on the special combination selection slip. These numbers are then automatically arranged into all possible sets of six numbers.

With each type of combination play, the ticket only shows the numbers you have chosen. All possible number combinations, however, are recorded in the central computer. For example, if your nine-number combination matches all the winning numbers including the bonus number, every single one of your 84 sets is a winner! Not only do you win the jackpot, but you also win 6 shares of the second-prize pool, 12 shares of the third-prize pool, 45 shares of the fourth-prize pool, and 20 shares of the fifth-prize pool ($200).
