Strategies: ready-made covering systems
Strategies lets you start with a covering system that has already been calculated and stored in the SPLoto.Net library. Instead of setting everything up from scratch, compare systems compatible with this lottery, choose one and select your numbers.
The choices shown depend on the compatible systems available in the library.

Understanding the fields
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Guarantee | Minimum matches when the stated condition is met. |
| Condition | How many drawn numbers must be within your selection. |
| Budget | Estimated cost of the entry set, in the lottery’s currency. |
| Selected numbers | How many numbers you choose to fill the covering system. |
| Numbers per entry | Size of each generated entry. |
| Entry count | Number of entries in the covering system. |
1. Open Strategies for your lottery
Open the lottery and select Strategies from its dashboard or side menu. The list takes the allowed entry sizes, draw size and selection limits into account; a system for another lottery may not be compatible.
The optional filters on this screen narrow the strategy list. They are separate from the mathematical filters that remove generated entries.
2. Read the guarantee together with its condition
The guarantee is the minimum number of matches at least one entry should have when the condition is met. The condition states how many drawn numbers must be within your chosen set. Always read both fields together.
For example, “3 matches if 5 selected numbers are drawn” means those 3 matches depend on having 5 drawn numbers in your selection. It does not predict the draw or guarantee a prize.
3. Set your budget and number range
Use the minimum and maximum amounts to narrow the estimated cost of the entire entry set. Also select how many numbers you want to choose and how many numbers each generated entry contains.
The listed amount is the cost of the entries in the lottery’s currency. It is not the software subscription price. Lower-cost systems appear first, and the available choices depend on the systems in the library.
4. Choose a system and select its numbers
Compare the price, entry count, selection size, guarantee and condition. Use Choose to open the selected system.
Select exactly the required number of main numbers. If the lottery has a separate number pool, also review those selections, their insertion mode and the final total: combining additional numbers can multiply the entry count.
5. Review the summary before generating
Check the selected numbers, entry size, condition, guarantee, number of entries and final amount. Since the covering system is already in the library, this matrix does not need a new covering search.
Generating may replace the entry set currently in the Laboratory. To keep an existing study, save it in the Laboratory before generating a new one and read the warning shown on screen.
6. Continue in the Laboratory
Once generated, use the entry tools to review the list, apply filters, check results and prepare printing. Save the study to reopen it from My Bets.
Removing entries with filters can invalidate the original coverage. Reassess the resulting list rather than assuming the original guarantee still holds.
If no systems are listed
Clear the filters or broaden the ranges. The library may not contain a system for every combination of selection size, budget, condition and guarantee.
Use Create my own to define a custom study in the Laboratory. Strategies is a shortcut using ready-made systems; the Laboratory remains available for your own setup.
Mathematical coverage does not make your chosen numbers more likely to be drawn. A SPLoto.Net subscription does not buy or register lottery tickets.
Tools for study and organization. No prize is guaranteed. Lottery participation requirements and availability are separate from the software subscription.
