How to play Lotto 6/42?

The Lotto 6/42 is a lottery game by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) where players select 6 numbers from a pool of 42 numbers from 1 to 42.

Players may select the numbers on their own or choose the options to play Lucky Pick and System Play.

• Lucky Pick is an option where the lottery terminal randomly generates a set of numbers for the players. It is a quick and easy way to randomly generate a ticket.
• System Play allows the players to choose more than the standard set of numbers, increasing the chances of winning. The players can choose System 5-Roll, System-7, System-8, System-9, System-10, System-11, or System-12. The system then generates all possible combinations of those numbers for your ticket. The more numbers you choose, the more combinations are generated, which increases your chance of winning but also costs more because you're paying for multiple combinations.
