Prelude to the Two Set Multi-Number Lottery Games

In order to understand how the two set multi-number lottery games work, players must first understand how basic types of lottery games work and how lottery winnings are earned. There are many different lottery games online available to play but all of them have the same basic concept. Players are invited to buy into a lottery according to the rates set and in return the player receives a virtual card with a certain choice of numbers. Players are then invited to choose a configuration of numbers from the group of numbers presented. In some cases the players are invited to choose five numbers, other Canadian lottery games online require the player to choose seven numbers or more out of a pool of 40 numbers or in some cases as many as a 99 numbers pool.

Once the player has chosen his numbers, he sits and waits for the draw to be made. Lottery draws are made at different preselected times each week depending on whether it is a state lottery or a national lottery or a casino lottery. The numbers are called in sequence and any player that has the same sequence of numbers is a winner. If there is more than one player that has the same sequence of numbers, the lottery winnings are divided up among the different winners.

What are the Two Set Multi-Number Lottery Games?

The two set multi-number lottery games are played in much the same way with one major difference. If, for example the player needs to choose 6 lottery numbers, five of the numbers are drawn from one pool of numbers i.e. from 1-49 and the sixth number is chosen from a different pool of numbers. The winner of the jackpot needs to choose numbers that match five from the one pool and the sixth number from the other pool of numbers. There are a number of variations of this type of lottery with bonus balls being offered.  In the province lottery, the actual lottery offers two additional numbers chosen at random by the computer that can be used towards the players winning numbers but he can never win the full jackpot using these additional numbers, they are only used towards lower bonus winnings.

Winning Payouts for the Two Set Multi- Number Lottery Games

Each week the results of the different lotteries are advertised online where players can check their numbers in real time to see if they are one of the lucky winners. The cost of the lottery tickets vary between province to province and also casino to casino. The higher the cost of the lottery ticket the higher the potential jackpot payout.  Recently one of the Canadian lottery games online that has developed from the original Canadian lottery, increased its ticket price from $1 to $2 after 22 years of being at the same price. With the increase in the lottery ticket price the potential jackpot payout now starts at $4 million and has been known to go as high as $25 million because more people are adding more money to the pot.

Some of the province lotteries are using a portion of their profits towards charitable institutions including hospitals and local services for residents that in turn give lottery players a good feeling about buying into their local lotteries. The two set multi-number lottery games may seem like a more challenging lottery option but in fact, they offer a lot more winning chance to the players with lottery winnings handed out for five out of the six numbers for example.  Also when there is a bonus number, the player can use this to make up a winning group of numbers, a bit like a wild symbol in a game of slots. Playing lottery games online has become much more widespread thanks to the ease of the internet connections and the ability to buy tickets online and choose numbers online whereas previously it was all done manually.
