Japan has a popular lottery game called Loto 6.

People play Loto 6 every week. They try to guess numbers.

On October 5, there was a draw for round number 2143.

A draw is when the lottery picks the winning numbers.

This time, nobody won the biggest prize.

When nobody wins, the money goes to the next draw. This is called a carryover.

So next week's prize will be bigger.

Many people check the numbers after every draw.

Some people also look at old results. They want to find numbers that come out often.

These are called frequent numbers.

People study Monday draws and Thursday draws separately.

Loto 6 has draws two times every week.

Many people in Japan enjoy playing this game.

They hope to win a big prize one day.

The next draw will happen soon.
