  I have just played lottery using "Pick 6 Wheel: Key 4 if 6 of 35".

  My choice of 35 numbers: 
  17 (Key), 41, 1, 11, 22, 23, 28, 32, 4, 6, 7, 37, 38, 2, 5, 24, 26, 29, 16, 44, 45, 34, 12, 35, 43, 8, 13, 25, 30, 27, 36, 15, 33, 42, 18

  Real numbers drawn in the lottery game:
  8-24-27-36-39-41/22, 26

  Out of 8 numbers drawn, 7 was in my selection of 35 numbers: 8-24-27-36-...-41/22, 26.

  This wheel guarantees at least 4 if I pick 6 numbers out of 35.
  In my selection of 35 numbers I've actually had picked 7 correct numbers, but I haven't had any 4rs. Only six occurrences of 3s.

  What's wrong with this picture??

  That's the luck of the draw... This particular wheel gives you a minimum number of combinations to guarantee you a 4 number win if your key #17 is drawn. Since #17 was not drawn, your wheel only managed 3 number wins. Hey, for Sat Lotto it's still a win! You would have had a greater chance at a 4 or 5 number win if you had all 6 main numbers in your 35. Remember, you are aiming for all 6 main numbers (not the supps)

   

  Personally, I don't like key number wheels and never play them. When I play wheels, I only use full wheels or standard abbreviated wheels, usually Bluskov's or Gail Howard's if Bluskov doesn't have one for the amount of numbers I want to use.

  Aaaaa-haaaa... Now I get it!

  I wasn't sure what's the significance of the key number.

  Oh, crap. It that case I'll forget about any "key" systems. Thanks heaps for clearing that up for me.

  Yep, you should have noticed #17 was in every combination you played??

  Key number wheels should really only be used if you are good at narrowing down and picking numbers and you are absolutely certain that a particular number is going to be drawn.
