Poland Lotto is also called Du?y Lotek in Poland. This popular game uses the 6/49 matrix wherein a player has to choose 6 bet numbers between the range of 1 to 49. To win the jackpot, the player has to match all his numbers from the winning numbers drawn. But the chances of winning are too low in just a single try. The odds of winning are 1 in 13,983,816 which means you have to have 13,938,816 combinations of numbers to surely win the jackpot. Therefore, the more entries you have the more chances of winning too.
Due to the popularity of lotto games all over the world, numerous systems have been developed to eliminate or reduce the odds. One of these is the so-called wheeling and this is perhaps the most popular. Wheeling is appropriate for the players who would like to bet a larger amount of numbers than the set required but of course with a little bit higher than the original cost per entry. For example, the Poland Lotto only asks the player to select 6 numbers on the lottery ticket. However, a player might want to play 7 or more different numbers.
In wheeling, it is not advisable to wheel all the pool of numbers as it narrows the chances of getting the jackpot match. Wheel only the numbers that you think have the highest possibility of coming out. As advised by lotto expert Gail Howard, you should wheel only half of the number range. If the number matrix is 6/49, then you can wheel about 25-30 numbers. The aim of wheeling is to trap or filter the most possible winning numbers.
