A full wheel system covers all possible combinations of the selected amount of numbers. For example, an 8 number full wheel for Canada's 649 lottery would require 28 combinations/tickets or put in monetary terms the Lotto 649 player would have to spend $28 to play this wheel. Add just one more pick to this full wheel example and a 9 number full wheel would require 84 ticket combinations or $84 to purchase the Lotto 649 tickets.

The advantage to a full wheeling system is that all possible winning combinations are present in your tickets and if the numbers hit the returns are great. The drawback to a full wheeling system is that these wheels produce a large number of tickets/costs and may not be the best way to play for most people's lotto budget. If you are pooling your betting money with other lottery enthusiasts such as trusted friends, relatives or fellow members of a lottery club the full wheeling systems might be the way to go. A lottery club could be the best way to go when it comes to lots of money wagered on high risk ventures such as a lottery.
