Lines: 17 In case you did'nt know, when you play the 6 digit lottery game you fill out a scan-tron form with your selection/selections. Each form can have a minimum of 2, maximum of 8 selections. Each selection takes from 10 to 20 seconds from time of submittal to payment and receival of ticket. Some quick calculations tell us that it would take roughly 200 days to pick all the 6 digit combinations of numbers from 1 to 40! Remember you had to fill out the scan-tron forms beforehand. Thats roughly 1.9m forms! (Please correct me on this if needed). Also remember that by 6:55 PM on Saturdays its time to start over for the next lottery drawing! "Wondering if I'll ever hit it big"?
