About Washington Lotto
Washington Lotto plays are sold in pairs: $1 buys two, and you pick the numbers on both. So a wheel costs 50¢ a line, and a wheel with an odd number of lines leaves one play to spare.
Below the jackpot, prizes are fixed: $1,000 for five numbers, $30 for four and $3 for three. The jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until someone wins it.
Matching two numbers pays nothing in Washington Lotto, so every wheel here guarantees at least a three-number match. Be wary of any system that promises "two numbers every time."
What Washington Lotto wheels cost
Each of these wheels guarantees a three-number match ($3) whenever at least three of the winning numbers are among the ones you mark. The more numbers you mark, the more often that happens, and the more tickets it takes.
| Numbers you mark | Tickets | Cost per draw | Cost per week | How often the guarantee comes into play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 of 49 | 4 | $2 | $6 | 1 in 21 draws, about once every 7 weeks |
| 10 of 49 | 10 | $5 | $15 | 1 in 11 draws, about once every 4 weeks |
| 12 of 49 | 15 | $8 | $24 | 1 in 6.8 draws, about once every 2 weeks |
| 15 of 49 | 31 | $16 | $48 | 1 in 3.9 draws, about once a week or more |
| 18 of 49 | 48 | $24 | $72 | 1 in 2.6 draws, about once a week or more |
The cost per week covers all 3 draws a week. The tool above also has cheaper wheels with weaker guarantees, and bigger ones that guarantee four or five numbers.

Can a wheel improve your odds?
No. Each line still has the same 1 in 13,983,816 chance at the top prize and returns about $0.10 in other prizes on average, however you choose its numbers. What a wheel changes is how your wins are grouped: random tickets can all miss even when the draw lands on your numbers, and a wheel makes sure at least one ticket catches them.

Questions
How many numbers should I mark?
As many as your budget allows. In Washington Lotto, going from 8 to 18 numbers takes the cost from $2 to $24 a draw, and the three-number guarantee from 1 in 21 draws to 1 in 2.6. Lottery pools can afford the bigger wheels, which is where wheels make the most sense.
Does a wheel break Washington's rule against buying up a game?
No. Washington doesn't allow buying combinations that would guarantee the jackpot or grand prize, which means buying every possible combination. A wheel only combines the numbers you chose, so it can only win the top prize if the winning numbers are among yours.
Can I take this printout to the store?
Not as a playslip: Washington doesn't accept photocopied or printed playslips. Copy your lines onto official playslips, or read them to the clerk. Tickets are sold only in stores; online sales and couriers aren't allowed.
