In a single draw, players can select one ball and bet on that particular number to be drawn, with the option of selecting more numbers to be drawn. Keep in mind that if one number is chosen, that specific number needs to be drawn in order for your bet to win. If you select four numbers, then all four of your chosen numbers must be drawn for you to win.
