Five numbers were just sitting on the screen like chalk on a blackboard: 5/39. No special effects, no bells, just that simple label. On YesPlay, the Arkansas state jackpot 5/39 is under Lucky Numbers. But this lottery bet can easily trip you up.
The tab trap
If you’re on Yesplay, then you might encounter a tiny problem when trying to pick numbers. Namely, the “Numbers” and “Unlucky numbers” options are right next to each other, meaning you can fat-finger the wrong option if you’re not careful. Now here’s the catch. “Unlucky numbers” doesn’t mean you’re picking numbers you hate. It actually means you’re betting on which numbers will NOT be drawn. So if you think you were betting on numbers you chose actually showing up, but instead you’ve accidentally clicked on “Unlucky numbers”, you’ve bet the opposite of what you intended. Sounds hectic, I know.
If you want to check it out and see what the fuss is about you can read more and see for yourself before you spend a cent.
Because it’s fixed odds, YesPlay shows you the amount of money that you stand to win even before you place a bet. On the Numbers market, you can get returns very quickly if you make the correct predictions. Matching only one ball pays around 6.60, but if you are so lucky to match all five, you could be getting a payout as high as 57,600.00. This is why these types of bets are so fun and exciting; you’re not doing it to grind your way to the top, you’re doing it for the shot at a massive payday.
Quick checks
