How Does Wheeling with Mega-Sena Work?

Regular lottery players don’t bother themselves with wheeling systems and prefer to play on their own, completely disregarding the potential advantages of syndicates. Savvy players on the other hand are usually using a winning system of their own or one created by an expert, so that they can cover all the possible combinations with a set of numbers. Wheels work in a similar manner regardless of the lottery they are used for, but they are particularly suitable for Mega-Sena.

The Brazilian lottery has a minimum set of six numbers that need to be added for each lottery ticket, but players can go beyond it. This means that players who resort to wheeling strategies don’t need to buy more tickets but can combine the numbers on a single line. Naturally those who strive to create full wheels are going to purchase additional tickets to cover all possible patterns, therefore make sure that if a handful of numbers are extracted they don’t leave empty-handed. Abbreviated wheels will only cover a couple of these combinations, and are regarded by some as a weak form of wheeling.

By contrast, a full wheel covers all possibilities but it costs significantly more which makes it inaccessible for regular players who are on a tight budget. Given the fact that the Mega-Sena lottery has a pool of numbers ranging from 1 to 60, a full wheel of 10 numbers will translate into a massive 210 tickets. Even though the prices are slightly lower than what lotteries cost worldwide, not many can afford to pay for so many tickets and that’s why they settle for the abbreviated wheel.
