HOW TO PLAY COMBINATIONS
Using a LOTTO MAX Combination Play selection slip, select the eight or nine numbers from 1 to 50 you wish to combine by placing a mark in each of the appropriate boxes.
If you want to play for more than one draw, mark the number of draws in the Advance Play box.
If you would like to play ENCORE, mark the number of ENCORE plays you would like to add to your ticket. Each play costs $1.
Match the numbers drawn to win. Seven numbers plus one bonus number are drawn for the LOTTO MAX Main Draw. Seven numbers are drawn for each MAXMILLIONS Draw, when held.
When you choose an eight-number Combination Play, the eight numbers are arranged in combinations of seven numbers, giving you eight unique selections.
For each such unique selection, you also receive two sets of computer-generated numbers, for a total of 24 seven-number combinations.
For example, if you select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 as your eight-number selection
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
the eight combinations would be:
| 1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
7 |

The same method of combining numbers is repeated for each of the two sets of computer-generated numbers.
You will receive a single ticket from the retailer that will show the numbers you have chosen and two additional sets of eight computer-generated numbers. All possible combinations, however, will be recorded in the central computer.
When you choose a nine-number Combination Play, the nine numbers are arranged in combinations of seven numbers, giving you 36 unique selections. For each such unique selection, you also receive two sets of computer-generated numbers, for a total of 108 seven-number combinations.
For example, if you choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 as your nine-number selection
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
the combinations would be:
| 1 | 2 |
3 |
4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 9 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 9 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 8 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 8 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
...and so on until all possible 36 different selections are created from the original nine numbers selected.
The same method of combining numbers is repeated for each of the two sets of computer-generated numbers.
You will receive a single ticket from the retailer that will show the numbers you have chosen and two additional sets of nine computer-generated numbers. All possible combinations, however, will be recorded in the central computer.
