how did you do Chas? you had a good key#...
Heres the results but first a quick review of the wheel I played. For $20.00 and ten games it captures 27 of the Pa. Match 6 49 number total.
*one number is played in all ten games.
*eight numbers are played three times in the wheel.
*eight numbers are played twice in the wheel.
*ten numbers are played once in the wheel.
4 of 6 of the numbers drawn were captured in the wheel. 01-02-17-19-33-38
Remember we're talking the first line only, the lottery picks the numbers in line two and three.
The key number 02 was captured in ten of ten games.
Number 38 was captured in two of the ten games.
Numbers 01 and 19 were captured one time each out of the ten games.
The payout results:
On line one I had no winners. On four of the ten games I had 2 of 6. You need 3 of 6 for $2.00
Now lets look at the results of adding the winning numbers from line one, two, and three. You Need 4 of 18 numbers to win $2.00. 5 of 18 to win $5.00.
*on 3 of the ten games I had 4/18 $2.00 each- $6.00 total
*on 1 of the ten games I had 5/18 $5.00-Grand total $11.00 on a $20.00 investment
This stinks. At the very least I should have gotten back the 20 bucks.If there ever was a state run "legal" scam the Pa Match 6 is it. You have no control of the numbers in line two and three. Its not much better than playing a scratch off ticket.
Beware Ohio state lottery players this scam may soon be coming to a retail lottery store near you.
Mark my words in the next couple of years other state lotterys will take away pick 6 games and start this rip off.
