Which are the World's best lotteries?

How are lotteries played?

The basic scheme of the lottery is to get five to six numbers drawn from as set of 39, 49, or 59 numbers.

You need to select a set of numbers from this set.

 If the numbers match, you win.

However, to hit the jackpot, you need to get the sixth number right. You win bumper prizes on getting 5 numbers right. Getting 3 and 4 numbers right can also help you win cash - though the probability of other people getting it right is also high. 

Though the format of lottery games is very simple but getting the numbers right is possible only for a lucky few. This makes lottery games very thrilling.
