If you have decided to try out your luck and give
Lotto 649 a go, you will need to understand the basics and know a bit more about how it works. As the name suggests you have to draw 6 numbers out of a set of 49 and if you get all the numbers spot on you will win the jackpot prize of $3,000,000..
There’s a bonus number that is also drawn and if you get it right along with five other numbers in the draw conducted on Wednesdays and Saturdays, you win the second prize which is anywhere between $100,000 and $500,000.
It’s important to note that if more than one player wins the top prize than the winning amount is divided amongst all the winners. And of course there are lesser prizes for those who have 3 numbers right or the jackpot number plus two other numbers. That’s what makes Lotto 649 interesting for many, who don’t have to return empty handed even if they don’t win the top prize. If no one wins the top prize; that’s the jackpot, then it rolls over to the next draw and this continues till someone hits the jackpot, so to speak.
