FAQ
539 vs Lotto 6/49?
539 has 8× higher overall win rate. But Lotto 6/49's snowball pool can dwarf 539's NT$ 8M cap. New / casual players: start with 539.
Why is the jackpot capped?
To prevent prize-pool overheating. If 100 winners hit jackpot in the same draw, each gets NT$ 80,000 instead of NT$ 8M. (In practice, 5+ jackpot winners in one draw is extremely rare.)
