A six-number lottery game is a form of lottery in which six numbers are drawn from a larger pool (for example, 6 out of 44). Winning the top prize, usually a progressive jackpot, requires a player to match all six regular numbers drawn; the order in which they are drawn is irrelevant.
In a simple 6-from-49 lotto, a player chooses six numbers from 1 to 49 (no duplicates are allowed). If all six numbers on the player's ticket match those produced in the official drawing (regardless of the order in which the numbers are drawn), then the player is a jackpot winner.

Historically the game was introduced in 1998 as a pick 5 out of 34 game with a jackpot that started at $20,000 and grew until it was won and drawings were held every day of the week. The game drew 6 numbers from 1-34 for each drawing (with the 6th being the bonus number which only applies to non jackpot prizes to help players win more money).
