A: Every one of our lottery wheels has a minimum win guarantee.
A win guarantee includes 2 numbers, let's call them A and B. If the
minimum win guarantee of the wheel is A/B, then you must get B winning numbers
within the set of numbers you chose to wheel, and if you satisfy that condition,
then you are guaranteed to get an A number win.
An example: For wheel 53226 and wheel 53235, both have a 3/5 guarantee.
What that means is that if you have all 5 winning numbers within your
26 or 35 numbers wheeled (respectively), then you are guaranteed a 3
number win. It's possible that you might get up to a 5 number win if you
match the guarantee for these wheels, but that is not part of the guarantee.
If you only chose 3 or 4 of the winning numbers in your number set, then
the condition of the minimum win guarantee won't be met, and you wouldn't be guaranteed
a win (although a 3 or 4 number win would still be possible in this case).
To get a 3 number guarantee with only 3 numbers right, you'd have to
use a 3/3 guarantee wheel (if 3 winning numbers
trapped within your wheel, then guaranteed 3 number win).
