The only sure way to do that is to buy one ticket for every possible combination.

Then you're absolutely positively definitely guaranteed to hold a winning ticket. It

doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get the whole jackpot, however. There may be

other winning tickets besides yours, and if there are, you have to split the jackpot

with all the others.

Are there 7 or 6 lottery numbers?

That depends on the lottery. For example: In the USA, Megamillions has 6 and Powerball uses 5/59 (white balls) + 1/39 (Powerballs) for a total of 6. Canada's Lotto Max uses 7 numbers. New Zeland's Powerball game has a standard pick 6 from 40 Lotto numbers with an additional pick 1 from 10 Powerball number (which is either 6 or 7 depending on how you look at it)


How many numbers do you have to get to win on the lotto?

It depends on how big a prize you want to win. You can win a prize with even one correct number. For example, in Powerball, if you match just the Powerball number, you win $4.00. For Ozlotto, you are required to get 7 correct numbers, none being any of the 2 supplementary numbers. In Powerball you are required to get all 5 numbers plus the Powerball to win the biggest prize.
