When a game draws an additional number(s) they either draw it from an independent hopper like Mega Ball or Power Ball which means the same number can be drawn twice, it increases the odds against winning and you must have it correct to win the jackpot.

Mega Money is Pick-4 plus a Pick-1 Mega Ball, Power Ball is Pick-5 plus a Pick-1 Power Ball.

This is the opposite of a game drawing a bonus number which is a additional number from the same hopper and substitutes for a number you didn't hav... [ More ]

When I use wheels for Powerball and other Pick 6 games I use a Pick5 wheel and then I just choose a number for the Powerball. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to your question, you just use what you feel works best for you.

Florida Mega Money is a Pick-4/44 plus Pick-1/22 game, you have to win both to collect the jackpot.

With games that have a bonus number you can play a wheel based on more numbers being drawn then there are per line.

With mega/power numbers you cannot, or at least cannot to any useful purpose.

Making a 3if5 wheel with 4 numbers in a line would just give you a 2if4 wheel. You might as well make a 2if4 wheel properly.

the right wheel?

Guys, i wanted to ask you all what you all thought about my opinion on which one should be the right wheel for FL mega money lotto; a pick4, 1-35 wheel or a pick5 wheel..The lotto selects 4 numbers from 1-44 and a bonus ball from 1-22. Now I used to think that you needed a pick5 wheel to play that game, but i believe that you need a pick4, 1-35 wheel to play that game (not regular pick4)...You are wheel 4 numbers and then you select the 10 most played bonus balls and you guess or go through all
