How to Play Soccer Pools

Soccer Pools Ball LogoVisit a Lotterywest retailer to purchase a Soccer Pools ticket. There are two ways to play, either by using playslips or Slikpiks.

Playslips

Look for this playslip

For a standard entry, mark your six numbers between 1 and 38 in each of the game boards you wish to play. NOTE: A minimum of two games must be completed to play Soccer Pools.

Slikpiks

Slikpiks are tickets of randomly selected numbers produced by the terminal. Slikpik 25 is a popular choice, but there are also 50, 30, 18, and 12 game Slikpiks. Slikpiks are also available for Systems tickets.

Systems, Multiweek, Advanced Wagering and Syndicates

For more ways to play (Systems, Multiweek, Advanced Wagering and Syndicates) please see the Soccer Pools Players Guide or ask your retailer.

What Happens Next?

Lotto Barrel Balls

The winning numbers are determined by the results of soccer games played in the southern and northern hemispheres each weekend. The match list for each weekend's games determines the Winning Numbers (each match is assigned a number from 1 to 38).

The six games that result in the highest scoring draws – for example 3-3 or 4-4 – are the Winning Numbers. The seventh highest drawn game becomes the Supplementary Number, which is used to determine the second and fifth division prizes.

  • Seven numbers in total are determined.
  • The first six are called the Winning Numbers.
  • The final number is the Supplementary Number.

How do I win?

Soccer Pools has five prize divisions. The more Winning Numbers you have, the more you win.

Check Your Ticket

Please check your Soccer Pools ticket before you leave your Lotterywest retailer. Check the numbers you wish to play have been correctly selected and make sure you are in the draw you want to play. Prizes can only be paid if you have a valid and correct ticket so it is up to you to check you’ve got the numbers you want in the draw you want.

After the draw you can find out if you have won a prize using the Lotterywest Ticket Checker. Visit your Lotterywest retailer and scan your ticket barcode to see if you’re a winner!

Draw results

Soccer Pools results are published in The West Australian newspaper every Wednesday.

If you miss the draw results or want to check your numbers, use the Ticket Checker at any Lotterywest retailer, visit our website at www.lottoresults.net, or call 1900 919 958 (Dialect Interactive. Calls cost 44 cents per minute including GST. Mobiles and pay phones extra).

Collecting your prize

Division 1

You can collect your Division One winnings following a validation period that ends 14 days after the draw. Present your winning ticket and claim your prize at Lotterywest, 74 Walters Drive, Osborne Park, during Monday – Friday office hours. If you live outside the metropolitan area or can’t get to our offices, you can post it to PO Box 1113, Osborne Park 6917.

Divisions 2, 3, 4 and 5

You can claim your prize from Lotterywest, 74 Walters Drive, Osborne Park, or at any Lotterywest retailer, the day after the draw. Lotterywest retailers have a $500 cash payout limit and amounts greater than this may be claimed subject to cash availability. Please check with your retailer.

Under the Lotteries Commission Act, 1990, prizes can only be claimed and paid for up to 12 months after the date of the draw. After this period the ticket is no longer valid. Unclaimed prizes are returned to the Western Australian community via Lotterywest grants.

And remember, your winning ticket is a bearer ticket. It’s just like cash, so please keep it safe at all times.
