- What do the Draw Numbers (e.g. 2006/55) indicate?
The draw numbers such as 2006/55 are the site's serial drawing numbers. Usually the first numbers (e.g.2006), state the year - 2006, while the last numbers (e.g.55), are the draw's serial number. These drawing serial numbers match the official lottery drawing serial numbers, where applicable.
- Is there a minimum number of lines in every play?

- What is a Bonus Ball?
In most of the lotteries six numbers are being drawn in each drawing, and one or more extra bonus balls. In these lotteries your entry consists only of the basic numbers, 6 in this example, and does not include a special guess for the bonus numbers. If you get all the basic numbers right, regardless of the bonus numbers, you win the jackpot.
The bonus numbers are being used to determine lower prize categories, according to the different prize categories shown in each of the lotteries in their Lottery Info page accessible through one of the 3 easy ways to choose your specific information at Lottery Info section at the site.
- What is the 7/8/9/10/11 numbers option when placing an order?
When filling a systematic form of 7 to 11 numbers, depending on the availability in each of the lotteries on the site, all possible block combinations generated from these numbers are entered to the lottery drawing. The number of blocks filled out this way is the number of all possible combinations. The total number of entries appears on the bottom of the form next to the form's price calculation. The form's price is a single block's price multiplied by the number of blocks.
- How does the 'Quick Pick' option work?
Quick Pick option is picking the numbers at random, according to the range of numbers and other lottery rules specific to each official lottery.

- What does the 'Time to Draw' indicate?
The Time to Draw indicates the time left till the draw closes for participation on the site, which is generally 3 hours prior the official lottery's closing time. To view a draw's local time schedule, you may go to the Search the world at the Lottery Info section at the Learn tab, and select your desired lottery. The draw's schedule is displayed among other lottery information.
- Why is betting closed a few hours before the official lottery draw?
The service performed by Congalotto.com is designed to ensure that each order has been recorded and verified will enter the selected draw. Participation in the drawing is therefore closed within a reasonable timeframe to guarantee that processing is completed before the draw takes place, usually about 3 hours beforehand. The amount of time remaining to place an order is displayed next to the lottery name, so you will always know how much time is left before betting is closed.
