Why do the games jackpot?

 If there is no Division One winner for the draw the provisional prize pool is rolled over to the next game increasing the jackpot. 

What is the difference between the games?

The only difference between Monday, Wednesday and Saturday is what day of the week it is played and the Division One prize pool.   These games require 6 winning numbers to win the Division One prize pool. OZ Lotto requires 7 winning numbers to win the Division One prize pool.  Powerball is a 2 draw barrels, the first machine draws 5 balls from barrel A and the second machine draws the Powerball from barrel B.  You need all 5 balls from barrel A and the Powerball from barrel B to win the Division One prize.

What happens if I go on holiday, can I still be in the draw each week?

If you have a set of lucky numbers and you don't want to miss a draw you have the option to purchase tickets for 2, 5 or 10 weeks in advance.

What is a Systems entry?

A Systems entry is a quick and easy way to increase the number of games you play in a draw.  The more games you play in a draw, the better your chances of winning. Systems can be played by selected your own numbers on a playslip, or as a Slikpik.

Where can I get the results of the draw?

The draws are televised on Channel 7 and GWN, Saturday Lotto is broadcast on Saturday night, Monday Lotto is broadcast on Monday night, OZ Lotto is broadcast on Tuesday night, Wednesday Lotto is broadcast on Wednesday night and Powerball is broadcast on Thursday night.  Cash 3 is broadcast just before the news every night on Channel 7.
