The abbreviated wheel lottery system provides partial coverage of your selected numbers, reducing the number of combinations and the cost. While it doesn't cover all possible combinations, it guarantees at least one winning combination if a certain number of your chosen numbers are drawn.
Imagine you’re playing a lottery where you need to pick 6 numbers. You choose 8 numbers you believe are likely to win: 3, 7, 12, 18, 25, 31, 42, and 49. The Abbreviated Wheel System will generate a reduced set of combinations of 6 numbers from this set of 8, providing good coverage while minimizing cost.
