Big money prize with a daily game: Doug S. won over $207,000 in a Fantasy 5 jackpot in February, 2016.

Want to increase your winning chances and play more often? A 5-ball game may be what you need.

The Silver Lotto System is designed to work on a number of lottery-style games with 5 balls, 6 balls, and 6 balls with a bonus (7th) ball.

I've concentrated on the 6 ball games because of the large jackpot numbers, but there are some advantages in playing 5 ball games:

• - They are played more regularly - often daily.
• - The ticket price is lower, usually $1 per play.
• - The winning odds are better because of fewer numbers and players.

The downside is that the prize amount in non-jackpot Pick-5 games is far lower. They can be from $100,000-$250,000, but many games are far less. 

However some 5 ball games have a progressive jackpot, and in one case a game has rolled over to a cash prize of over $1 million.

You can easily use your Silver Lotto System to play a 5 ball game, but it doesn't include any 4+1 games such as Florida's Mega Money and Texas Two-Step. Those games are drawn from two different number fields and can't easily be adapted to my System.
