Objective
To match as many of your numbers against the numbers chosen by the computer, and to match the lucky number.
Game Cost
25 chips per game.
Game Play
The game starts with you selecting 6 numbers. Once you select your numbers, hit "PICK EM" to start and get the computer's numbers. The computer will choose 12 numbers at random. Each time you match a number, you get a prize. Your prize goes up depending on how many numbers you match.
The Lucky Number
In addition to the 12 numbers the computer picks, the computer will also pick one lucky number each game. If one of your numbers matches the lucky number, it will turn into a green star. Otherwise, it will turn into a white star. If the computer then chooses that number as one of its 12 random numbers, you'll win the grand prize of 50,000 chips! You'll know you won when you see the balloons.
Odds
Well, the odds are very complicated. Because you choose 6 and the computer chooses 12, figuring out the odds for winning 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 numbers (and the lucky number) gets very tricky. Luckily, one of our members, Knulla, was smart enough to help us out! Here are your exact odds of winning:
| Scenario | Odds | | No numbers | 45.4620% | | Without lucky number | | One number | 39.0426% | | Two numbers | 12.6527% | | Three numbers | 1.9645% | | Four numbers | 0.1526% | | Five numbers | 0.0056% | | Six numbers | < 0.0001% | | With the lucky number | | One number | 0.39% | | Two numbers | 0.2582% | | Three numbers | 0.0608% | | Four numbers | 0.0064% | | Five numbers | 0.0003% | | Six numbers | < 0.000005% |
To get all six numbers and the lucky number, the chances are actually smaller than one in a million (1 in 2,150,167 to be exact!). |
