One of the most effective ways is the use of Reduced Systems (or Wheeling Systems). A Reduced System distributes your chosen numbers over a number of games so that you have the same statistical chance of matching the winning numbers as you do with a Full System but at a significantly-reduced cost.

For example, a Full System 12 game in Saturday Lotto (6/45) lets you choose 12 numbers. The system then organises those 12 numbers into all possible combinations of 6 numbers which equals 924 different games. A Reduced System 12A in the same lotto also lets you choose 12 numbers. This system then organises the numbers in such a way that your chance of matching the winning numbers is exactly the same as in the Full System 12. The numbers, however, are placed in 42 combinations or only 42 games. This represents a huge cost reduction, but with the same chance of matching the winning numbers among your selections!

Ozlotteries.com strategists offer a number of plans for each lotto game. These plans are designed to suit everyone from the most modest player to the serious investor. Each Reduced System represents a different number pattern or combinatorial design that picks the optimum number combinations for you. And each Reduced System has a guaranteed return depending on the amount of winning numbers you match with your selections.
