The prize pool for LOTTO 6/49 is based on a parimutuel share. A parimutuel share is a calculation where the total monies allocated to a prize category are divided by the total number of winners in that category. Sometimes, customers select certain number combinations more often than other number combinations, and this may result in a greater number of winning tickets and a lower prize share. Some of the more popular combinations are based on sequence of numbers, vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines on selection slips, multiples of numbers, variations of historic dates or birth dates, etc. These combinations vary from DRAW to DRAW and change depending on customer play patterns.
PRIZE PAYOUT BREAKDOWN
A total of $1.44 is allocated to prizes for every $3 play issued. See the LOTTO 6/49 Game Conditions for a detailed prize payout breakdown.
