Wagers for Mega Mixx start at $1.00 and go up to $100.00, but they cannot exceed your base wager. Select from these options:
Mega Ball – this pays out $70 to $1
Mega Ultra – this pays out $100 to $1
Mega Xtreme – this pays out $125 to $1
You can also wager on all the Mega Mixx options by choosing "All Mega”.
When you add at least one Mega Mixx to your wager, you automatically qualify for the Play Whe Jackpot Draw at no additional cost.
This is a shared jackpot pool, which you automatically qualify for when you select a Mega Mixx add-on. When you choose any Mega Mixx option, you’ll see 5 jackpot numbers appear at the bottom of your ticket. After the Play Whe draw, there is a second draw which is for the Play Whe Jackpot. If your Jackpot numbers match the numbers drawn in the Play Whe Jackpot Draw, you get to share in the jackpot. The jackpot starts at $10,000 (minimum). Depending on the amount you have wagered on the Mega Mixx option, you win a percentage of the jackpot pool. For instance, if you wagered $1 on the Mega Draw, you win 10% of the jackpot. If you wagered $10 or more, you win 100% of the jackpot. The total payout is limited to 100%. This means if there are multiple winners and the potential jackpot payout exceeds 100%, the system automatically recalculates each player’s winnings. This is done based on the amount the player wagered on the Mega Mixx options.

Note: The base Play Whe draw and the Play Whe Jackpot draw are two separate draws. You have chance to win the Play Whe Jackpot even if your Play Whe mark was not drawn.
There are four exciting PLAY WHE draws every day from Sunday to Saturday except on religious holidays. Draws take place at 10.30 a.m., 1 p.m., at 4 p.m., and at 7 p.m. You can choose to play as many days as you like at the draw time you prefer; it’s up to you. If you haven’t chosen a draw time, the terminal automatically selects the next available draw.
Submit the filled-in bet slip at your NLCB Lottery Centre. You will receive an official printed PLAY WHE ticket with the numbers, draw date/s, and any add-ons. Now, keep this ticket safe because you’ll need it to claim your prize.
At each of the four draws, which take place Sunday to Saturday (excluding religious holidays), one number (from 1 to 36) will be randomly selected. After this draw, there is a second draw, which is when a Mega Mixx option may be randomly drawn. The Play Whe Jackpot follows this draw. You can win a share of the Play Whe Jackpot if you match the 5 Jackpot numbers (in any order).
Check if your number matches the winning number that has been drawn. If it does, you’re a WINNER!! You’ll receive $26 for every $1 wagered on that number. If you are a winner and match any of the Mega Mixx options that have been drawn, you also get an additional prize – Mega Ball $70:$1, Mega Ultra $100:$1, Mega Xtreme $125:$1.
If you wagered on at least one Mega Mixx option, you have a chance to win the Play Whe Jackpot! After every Play Whe draw, there is a separate Play Whe Jackpot draw. Match all five jackpot numbers in any order, and you win the Play Whe Jackpot! What’s great is you can be a winner of the Jackpot, even if you did not win on your Play Whe mark.
So, you’re a winner. Here is what you need to do. If you’ve won $12,000 or less, go to any authorised NLCB Lottery Centre and receive your cash. For winnings above $12,000, you must visit an NLCB office to claim your prize. Prizes of $1,000 or more are subject to a 10% Winnings Tax. You have 180 days after the drawing to validate your winning ticket and claim your prize.

When we refer to Chinapoo, also known as the Chinaman, we’re talking about the original ‘jumbie’ chart from the Chinese “WheWhe” game. This game dates to the 1900s, when it was brought to these shores by Chinese indentured labourers. The Chart is based on Chinese philosophy and medicine, like acupuncture and reflexology, which are rooted in the belief that “Qi” (Chee), this life-giving energy, flows through all living beings. Over many decades, “WheWhe’ and “Play Whe” have evolved to include a variety of local cultural references, such as ‘Corbeaux’, ‘Crapaud’, and ‘Jamette’ into the game.
The chart, Chinapoo, specifically features body parts and their corresponding marks. It is said that each mark has its own unique spirit. Players use a variety of methods when making a Play Whe wager. Many rely heavily on dreams, numerology, mark-trends, and a host of other influences to inform their gameplay and choice of numbers. It's believed that following these superstitions has an impact on a player’s success. It is also said that while one method may work well for one person, it may not work for another.
