What is Lotto?
Lotto is a game where certain numbers are picked at random or
chance either by spinning balls in an enclosure or generating them by machine
and any player who matches two or three balls(depending on which lotto type)
that has been drawn as winning numbers, automatically wins.
How to play?
Most
common Lotto type in Nigeria is 5/90(five winning numbers out of ninety
numbers). Others are 5/99(five winning out of ninety nine), 6/49( six out of
fouty nine) etc. If two numbers picked by a player is part of the five winning
numbers drawn, player wins.
Nap2/two sure
For example, select two numbers
between 1 to 90 and put desired amount. E.g 10-41 =@#100 " If the winning
numbers for that game you played are 12-(10)-15-(41)-17, then you have won
#24000(Twenty four thousand Naira) because your two selected numbers are among
the five winning numbers.
Nap3 /three direct
Select any three numbers between 1
to 90 (one to ninety) E.g 10-41-12 @#100 If the winning numbers are
(12)-(10)-15-(41)-17 Then you have won #210,000 (two hundred and ten thousand
naira) because your three selected numbers are among the drawn winning numbers.
Note, if you play the three direct option, you do not win if you have only two
numbers, unless all three. To solve this problem, there's option to perm.
Permutations
Perm 2 / Perm 3 Here you can select from 3 to 20 numbers or more
and play permutation to increase chances of winning. If any two numbers is among
the five drawn numbers you win. Unless you use a lot of money to play this, the
expected returns is usually low but you stand a better chance of winning this
compared to nap2 or 3 options E.g if you picked 10-13-29-85-17 and permed it at
@#10 each, you pay #100 because it amounts to ten lines of two. If the winning
numbers are 12-(10)-15-41-(17), then you have won #2400( two thousand four
hundred) because it's at #10 per line. The more numbers you get in the five at a
single stake, the more the winning outcome. For perm 3, you need to get three
numbers from your selected lot in the five winning numbers. E.g if you picked
19-17-12-15-20 @#10 each And the winning numbers are (12)-10-(15)-41-(17), then
you have won #21000( twenty one thousand naira) See the difference in winnings.
Note, also like nap3 if you played perm 3 and got only two numbers, you have not
won. You need three numbers.
Also note that lottery agents might charge little
commissions on your winnings to cover cost of running and going to collect your
winnings.
Winning prize structure
Nap2/perm2 = stake X 240 eg E.g #100 X 240 =
#24,000
Nap3/perm3 = stake X 2100 E.g #100 X 2100 =#210,000
Nap4/perm4 = stake X
6000 E.g #100 X 6000 = #600,000
Nap5/perm5 = stake X 44000 E.g #100 X 44000
=#4,400,000(for baba ijebu) and #100 X 50000( for some others).
