A six-number lottery game, often having Megabucks, Pick-6, or Lotto as part of its name, is a form of lottery in which six numbers are drawn from a larger pool (for example, 6 out of 44).
 Winning the top prize, usually a jackpot, requires a player to match all six regular numbers drawn; the order in which they are drawn is irrelevant.
 Functionally, these games are similar to five-number games, except, because of the sixth number that needs to be matched, the top-prize odds usually are longer.
 Therefore, six-number games generally offer a higher top prize.
 Six-number games (using one drum) were the most popular kind of U.S. lottery game, before two-drum games such as Cash4Life and Mega Millions were created.
 (These games also draw six numbers; however, five are from one set, while a sixth is drawn from a second pool.
 These "5+1" games also require all six numbers to be matched for the top prize/jackpot.)
