I prefer the Lotto-Logix style of wheeling where you build the wheel in CoverMaster or OpenCover to a 90% level of coverage and reduce your cost to play by better then half.

I like the wheels they draw the Mass. Numbers with. Seriously, I play for fun, I don't try to beat the system.

I would like the wheel that, when it turns...it would return to me the money I had so foolishly spent on such an idiotic method of number picking. But hey...that's just my (last) 2 cents worth. Sir Metro And my wife keeps telling me that those little balls just fall at random...foolish woman...one of these I am gonna prove her wrong, just hope we are both living when I do.

A lot of people still think Wheels don't work,
Some players believe wheels minimize chance of getting jackpot, answer: NO, wheels do exactly what they guarantee, if you pick random numbers you don't have any guarantee of winning.
A serious player has to consider wheels according to his budget, but a common person if spends $2 or less by game wheels won't help a lot.

Overall the odds never change whether you use a wheel or quick picks. However there are also odds for everything that can happen in the game.
If you attempt to improve your odds of getting a 3# prize using fewer combinations by going to a split wheel the hyper geometric distribution virtually guarantees a jackpot will only be possible roughly one time in 50 draws when all six of the winning numbers fall on one side of the split or the other (this will vary depending on game and wheel).
When this happens your odds of a jackpot will be improved for that one drawing, but who wants to wait out 50 draws just for one chance to win a jackpot. I'd rather have a chance in every draw. BobP

I am using wheels available on the lotto-logix website once in a while for VikingLotto
For the regular national 7/34 lottery in Norway I'm using a 10 number, 10 lines system which I have found in a swedish lottery wheel book.
When playing this system, I am playing several variants overlapping each other.
Won a third prize and several fourth and fifth prizes in the 7/34 lottery this way.

I don't know how to follow those lottery wheels, I can't afford to play ten lines at a time. Just a few ? You sound successful playing your numbers

I am not that successful, since I am on this forum still looking for ways to win the lottery.
It costs a lot to play this way and it is only in periods I am playing this wheels.
I am letting the wheels overlapp each other like this:
1st 10 number wheel/ticket:
1, 5, 10, 13, 14, 19,20, 27, 28, 32.
2nd 10 number wheel/ticket:
4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 16, 18, 21, 22, 29. (number 5, 10 - same as 1st ticket, number 21 - same as 3rd wheel)
3rd 10 number wheel/ticket:
2, 3, 8, 13, 15, 17, 20, 21, 28, 34. (number 13, 20, 28 - same as 1st ticket)
etc.
This way some numbers on each ticket is covered by other tickets.
The wheel i am using is very strong and guarantees 3rd prize(6/7) if 7/7(all numbers in wheel).

I prefer than my "wheels" don't go flat.
In games I rarely wheel other than covering all the powerball/mega numbers. But I only play those games when the jackpot is very high.

lol, no way. I'm after the jackpot or 2nd prize AND I don't mind $1.5 million after taxes either when the base jackpot is $3 million. And yes CO, I will choose lump sum.

Have you totally boycotted the game?

Maybe so, but if you hit 1st prize, you'd be too busy spending and investing the $1.5 million or more CO

I prefer full wheels because just adding 1 number to a 6/49 game = 7 tickets, but your chance of winning the jackpot increases seven fold from 14000000 to 2000000

I once thought wheels were a good system for me, but in the interest of full disclosure, I also once thought Moby Dick was a venereal disease.
