Hello! I hope this message finds everyone well and your day/night is going well. Anyhoo, as the title says, I just have a quick question about the SB Lotto and hope someone could help me out.
Basically, I'm curious and somewhat confused about the way the numbers are chosen and drawn. My confusion stems from this: How anyone can possibly win the 5 regular + 2 bonus number lotto reward, when you're only allowed to choose 5 numbers total when you buy a ticket?
I would think that you'd be able to choose 7 numbers in total (either just a straight 7 or 5 regular numbers and 2 bonus numbers, separately) but every time I've bought a lotto ticket, I've been restricted to choosing just 5. I'm probably just being totally dense, but if someone would please clarify how the lottery system works and how people win the 5 + 2 bonus number reward, I would appreciate it immensely. Thank you!
