What are some demerits of the abbreviated wheel system?

The main drawback of an abbreviated wheel in lottery is that it does not guarantee a win when the specified number of winning numbers is matched, so there is a higher risk of not winning any prize. Additionally, abbreviated wheels cover fewer numbers than full wheels, so they offer less coverage and lower chances of winning.

The fact that adopting a condensed wheel method in a lottery does not ensure a jackpot victory is one of its key drawbacks. The intention is to buy fewer tickets to cover a specific set of numbers, but this could result in you missing out on different combinations that could result in a massive payout.
