A lottery wheeling system means you choose a base subset of numbers, for example in a 6 number lottery, you might choose the numbers 1 to 7, and then combine them in ways ensuring that all 7 numbers get a go in the 6 number lines. By playing combinations of a set of numbers, you are doing something similar to the permutations in football pools.

Lets look at a typical choose 6 numbers from 49 lottery game. Say your base subset of most approved numbers are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. However, you want to play the 7 as well. How may you best spread out your lines in order to maximize the possibility of winning should any of your base numbers come up? By wheeling them. Heres an example.

01 02 03 04 05 06
01 02 03 04 05 07
01 02 03 04 06 07
01 02 03 05 06 07
01 02 04 05 06 07
01 03 04 05 06 07
02 03 04 05 06 07

Notice how the columns change as you move downwards. As you can see, there are 7 entries (at 7 dollars or 7 pounds cost). While these seven lines have the identical chance of winning the jackpot as any other seven lines, it does increase your winnings should any of your numbers come up, because it increases the probability of winning multiple prizes.

Dont believe me? Letss imagine the winning numbers are

01 02 03 04 48 49

Looks like a 4 ball win!. Actually, its better than that! You have actually won
