Lucky 6 35/48

Introduction

Lucky 6 35/48 is a lottery game that involves drawing 35 balls from a set of 48, without replacement. Players select six balls beforehand and receive payouts based on the number of their chosen balls that match the drawn ones. Currently, there are two providers for this game, and I will outline the rules for both.

It's important not to mix up Lucky 6 35/48 with another lottery game known as Lucky 6 .

The subsequent table illustrates the returns based on the pay table utilized by the Merrybet casino, not accounting for the Clover multiplier just yet. The lower right corner indicates an expected return of 101.94%.

In the Merrybet casino, the game will randomly position two clovers on the scoring board from the 6th to the 35th selected balls prior to the ball draw. If any drawn number matches a player’s selection in these positions, the payout will be doubled. If two numbers in clover positions correspond to the player's picks, the winnings will be tripled.

Determining the probability of the Clover multipliers involved complex calculations, so I conducted a random simulation of 644,500,000 games to find the average multiplier associated with matching all six of the player’s selections. The table below displays these multipliers along with the adjusted winnings factoring in the multiplier. The lower right corner shows an expected return of 134.60%, assuming the clovers are evenly distributed from the 6th to the 35th positions on the scoreboard and that the ball draw is conducted fairly.

Colors Completed

The Lottery Instant Win provides five side bets based on the number of colors completed among the 35 drawn balls. The 48 balls come in eight distinct colors, with six balls allocated for each color.

For anyone curious (including myself, if I forget later), here are the formulas for determining the counts of different colors:

• When exactly 0 colors are present, it equates to the formula: COMBIN(48,35)-8*COMBIN(42,29)+COMBIN(8,2)*COMBIN(36,23)-COMBIN(8,3)*COMBIN(30,17)+COMBIN(8,4)*COMBIN(24,11)-COMBIN(8,5)*COMBIN(18,5) = 46,948,206,528.
• For exactly 1 color, use the formula: COMBIN(8,1)*(COMBIN(42,29)-7*COMBIN(36,23)+COMBIN(7,2)*COMBIN(30,17)-COMBIN(7,3)*COMBIN(24,11)+COMBIN(7,3)*COMBIN(18,5)) = 94,168,766,160.
• To find exactly 2 colors, apply this formula: COMBIN(8,2)*(COMBIN(36,23)-6*COMBIN(30,17)+COMBIN(6,2)*COMBIN(24,11)-COMBIN(6,3)*COMBIN(18,5)) = 45,626,036,400.
• For exactly 3 colors, the formula becomes: COMBIN(8,3)*(COMBIN(30,17)-5*COMBIN(24,11)+COMBIN(5,2)*COMBIN(18,5)) = 6,012,429,360.
• Exactly 4 = =COMBIN(8,4)*(COMBIN(24,11)-4*COMBIN(18,5)) = 172,331,040
• Exactly 5 = COMBIN(8,5)*COMBIN(18,5) = 479,808
