You then choose between one ad ten numbers of your choice which you hope will be at least one of the twenty numbers that are selected. You then bet on those numbers you chose and wait to see what the outcome is.
If you match a number, it is called a hit. Here, the winning is determined by the amount of your bet and the prize pool is then influenced by the amount of numbers selected in each game.
