Olimp Lucky Numbers – How to Play 

Lucky Numbers is an easy-to-play game which gives you the chance to win big money with small stakes. The game is based on the numbers drawn in real lottery draws around the world. 

To place a 'straight' bet, you simply select your lottery of choice and then choose up to five numbers. If you match each of the numbers chosen, you are a winner! The bonus ball is included with the exception of straight bets on the German and South Africa Powerball lotteries. 

The odds available depend on the game you are playing and the amount of numbers you choose. For a full list of the odds for 'straight' bets and the lucky numbers schedule, please click here. To read the rules of the game, click here. 

When playing Olimp’s Lucky Numbers, there are plenty of other great markets available to choose from. Here is a guide to what each market means: 

Combination: 

You can pick up to eight numbers and from the chosen numbers, your bet can be split into different combinations, such as doubles, trebles, four-folds and so on depending on your preference. Below a full list of different combinations depending on how many numbers are selected. 

When placing bets on the combination market, you first need to choose a maximum of eight numbers and then decide the combination size. Combinations can be singles, doubles, trebles, four-folds or five-folds. 
The number of possible combinations depends on the total amount of numbers selected, as shown in the table: 

# of numbers selected	Singles	Doubles	Trebles	Four-folds	Five-folds
1	1	-	-	-	-
2	2	1	-	-	-
3	3	3	1	-	-
4	4	6	4	1	-
5	5	10	10	5	1
6	6	15	20	15	6
7	7	21	35	35	21
8	8	28	56	70	56

Example: 
If you choose three numbers in the combination market, you then need to decide whether you want your bet to be: 
a) 3 x singles (your stake will be multiplied by three) b) 3 x doubles (your stake will be multiplied by three) c) 1 x treble 
If, for example, you choose option b) and only two of your selected three numbers are drawn, you will be paid out on one double. If all three of your selected numbers are drawn, you will be paid out on all three double combinations.

Balls Not to Be Drawn: 

If betting on balls not to be drawn is more your thing, you can bet on one ball (1.10), two balls (1.21), three balls (1.33) or four balls (1.46) not to be drawn. If none of the numbers are drawn, your bet is a winner! 

First Ball Drawn Exact: 

Quite simply choose which number you think will be appear first and pick up 47.00* times your stake if you get it right! 

* Please note that for the Irish Lottery, the payout is different (41.00), due to the total number of balls available. 

First Drawn Odd/Even: 

The ultimate bet for those who like fast games of chance! The moment the first ball is drawn, the result of your bet is confirmed. Choose for the first ball to be odd or even, sit back and cross those fingers! Winning bets are paid at 1.83. 

First/Last Ball Drawn (excluding bonus): 

You decide whether your bet will relate to the first or last ball drawn (bonus ball not included), and choose the group of numbers that you think the ball fall within. So, for example, if you bet on the first ball to fall in the 22-28 group, a first ball of 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 or 28 gives you multiple chances to collect 5.50 times your stake! 

Select Bonus Ball: 

Think you can guess the exact number of the bonus ball? Perhaps your lucky number is your birthday or the number of your favourite football player’s shirt? If your guess is good, you’ll pick up a cool 47.00* times your stake! 

* Please note that for the Irish Lottery (41.00), the New York Lottery and the UK Main Lottery (54.00), the payout is different, due to the total number of balls available. 

Bonus Ball Hi/Lo: 

Will the bonus ball be ‘Lo’ (1-24) or ‘Hi’ (26-49)? Place a bet on Hi/Lo and if you guess correctly, you receive a payout of 1.95 times your stake. If you think the bonus ball will be 25 and you are right, you will net 45.00 times your stake! 

Bonus Ball Single: 

By selecting this market, your bet says that the bonus ball will be a single-digit number (1-9). If your bet wins, you will receive 4.25 times your stake. 

Bonus Ball Colour (49’s Only): 

There are two 49’s draws every single day, with six main balls and a bonus ball drawn from a total of 49. Each ball is one of seven possible colours, and you just need to correctly guess the colour of the bonus ball to win 6.50 times your stake. In this market, it’s all about lucky colours! 

The colour of each ball is as follows: 

Green	1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43

Blue	7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49

Total Value of Main Six Balls: 

This exciting option offers you the chance to land big odds by correctly guessing which group the total value of the six main balls will fall in. So, if the numbers drawn are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30, the total value of the main six balls is 5+10+15+20+25+30 = 105, which means 101-110 would be the winning group. The odds available depend on the lottery selected and the group you have chosen. 

Total Value of Main Six Balls (Odd/Even): 

A bet on whether the value of the six main balls will add up to an odd or even number. So, if the numbers drawn are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30, the total value of the main six balls is 5+10+15+20+25+30 = 105, which means all bets placed on ‘odd’ would be successful, with payouts at 1.90 times your stake. 

Hi/Lo: 

For big odds fans, your stake will be multiplied by a massive 50.00* if you can correctly guess if each of the six main balls (bonus ball not included) will be under 25, or 25 and over. Here is an example of a winning bet: 

 

Ball Drawn	Your bet	Actual Numbers Drawn
First Ball	Under 25	16
Second Ball	Under 25	23
Third Ball	25 or Over	42
Fourth Ball	Under 25	4
Fifth Ball	25 or Over	29
Sixth Ball	Under 25	11

* Please note that for the Irish Lottery (48.00), the payout is different, due to the total number of balls available. 

Odd/Even: 

Similarly to the ‘Hi/Lo’ market, 50.00* times your stake will yours if you can guess whether each of the six main balls will be odd or even. Here’s an example of a winning bet: 

Ball Drawn	Your bet	Actual Numbers Drawn
First Ball	Odd	19
Second Ball	Even	28
Third Ball	Even	6
Fourth Ball	Even	42
Fifth Ball	Odd	37
Sixth Ball	Odd	49
