Thank you for the explanation WhatAreTheOdds. The combination play is not for me.

Yes, they use only the 9 numbers that you selected, and are basically wheeling them for you. No two lines will be the same.

If you wheel 9 numbers for a pick-6 draw (6/49 is a pick-6 draw), you will have 84 lines. And this will be a guaranteed 6/6 win (jackpot). BUT, the guarantee is only if the winning 6 numbers are within your chosen 9 numbers.

Look at the example above carefully. In the example, you can see that they are rotating through the numbers, and each line has 6 DIFFERENT numbe... [ More ]

That I understand, but what fills the whole 84 selections. On Ontario 49 9 combinations you get 84 plays for a draw. I don't see how they can use the same 9 numbers for all 84 plays. So do they use numbers from the same 9 numbers? If so I am not playing combination because that would be very very wrong to play it.

If you Google it, this is what comes up:

Nine Number Combination Play

Choose nine numbers out of 49 and get 84 different selections, since these nine numbers can be arranged into 84 different sets of six number selections. For example, if you choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 as your nine-number selection, the 84 different combinations would be:

1-2-3-4-5-6

1-2-3-4-5-7

1-2-3-4-5-8

1-2-3-4-5-9

2-3-4-5-6-7

2-3-4-5-6-8

and so on until all possible... [ More ]

Not sure what combo you are talking about here? If you are using a wheel, it's the numbers you pick.

Does 9 combination play for 6/49 use only the 9 numbers selected or add other numbers?

Does the 9 number combination play only use the 9 numbers I selected or does it add other numbers
