Why do some games jackpot?
For some games, if there is no Division One winner for a draw the provisional prize pool is rolled over to the next game, increasing the jackpot.
What is the difference between the games?
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday Lotto 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 has 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. The prize amounts, minimum games, and cost of entry is different for each game.
