Also on this page you will notice a star by the side of every winning combination, This is used to determine which of the winning numbers entered are used to find a winning ticket for each combination. Usually this will be set to * which signifies that any of the winning numbers count if they appear in your tickets. This will need to be changed though if you have a special lottery for example which requires you to have the first/last 3 winning numbers on your tickets. To change this setting simply click on the * and answer the prompt.
