There are two ways to play 'Exact'. You can either match up three or four numbers but they have to be in the exact order they are drawn.
There are six ways to play 'Any'. These will be explained in more detail below, under our 'Ways to Match Numbers' section. The thing they all share is that they come out in any order - you don't have to match them all exactly.
These two play types are fairly self-explanatory. All you have to do is match either two or even just one number and you can still win a prize.
For 'Any' play types there are a few more ways you can choose to match numbers. For instance, you could choose to match four different numbers or three of the same numbers and one unique one. Look at all the different ones you could select below (as well as the odds of winning).
