The odds of winning vary for each game. For our most popular game Saturday Lotto, the odds of a Division 1 win in any single game panel is 1 in 8,145,060. The game with the highest odds of winning any prize is Powerball at 1 in 43.9. Visit each of the games information pages to find out the odds at various prize levels, for all our games:

• Saturday Lotto
• Monday Lotto
• OZ Lotto
• Wednesday Lotto
• Powerball
• Set for Life
• Scratch'n'Win
• Cash 3
• Super66

In Saturday, Monday and Wednesday Lotto you need all six Winning Numbers to win Division 1 and in OZ Lotto you need all seven Winning Numbers to win Division 1. 

Powerball is played by drawing seven balls from the first barrel of 35 and one ball from a second barrel of 20. The number drawn from the second barrel is the Powerball number and all eight numbers together are the Winning Numbers.

Set for Life is a game with draws every day of the week. When you win Division 1, instead of a single lump-sum payout, you get an ongoing prize of $20,000 a month for 20 years and it's guaranteed (if won) for up to four winners. Each entry lasts for seven consecutive draws and is played by drawing nine numbers from 44. The first seven numbers drawn are the Winning Numbers and the last two drawn are the Supplementary Numbers.

For some games, if there is no Division 1 winner for a draw the provisional prize pool is rolled over to the next game, increasing the jackpot. Saturday Lotto, OZ Lotto, Powerball and Super66 are all examples of such jackpotting games.

The game information pages on our website are full of information about how each game is played. You may also like to learn the various ways to play those games or read the how to play brochure for detailed information. If none of that helps, give us a call and we'd be happy to help you through it.

• $1 and $2 games are fun, easy and quick to play - great if you've only got a few spare moments to try your luck at cash prizes up to $20,000.
• $3 games take a little longer, like our ever-popular Word Play ticket. Simply scratch to reveal each letter, then match that letter wherever it appears in the Word Play panel(s) to make three or more complete words.
• $5 games offer a wide variety of game styles, all with the chance to win up to $100,000 cash. Our light gaming style tickets (such as Roulette, Poker and Blackjack) offer great returns and a bit of a challenge. Our "time out" $5 Word Play offers the same great mechanic as the popular $3 Word Play with even more play value. In addition to these, other multiple-panel games are on offer at various times throughout the year to offer a fun and easy play mechanic with great cash prizes to be won.
• $10 games offer fantastic value with great odds, high prize payouts and the biggest top prize offering of up to $300,000.
• $20 games are our premium tickets and are packed with play value. These games are simple to play, offer a large prize pool, have great odds of winning and multiple top prizes.

For some Scratch'n'Win games you need to match three dollar amounts or symbols in each game panel. Other games have a lucky number mechanic where you require only one number match to win. There are also Word Play and Bingo as well as many other different games. Make sure you read the play instructions carefully to check the rules for each game.

If you’re not sure if your ticket is a winner, you can check it using the ticket checker at any Lotterywest store, or ask your local retailer to check the ticket for you. They’ll scan the ticket barcode on the terminal, which will instantly advise if your ticket is a winner. If the retailer doesn’t have a terminal they can ring Lotterywest to verify your win.

Scratchie winners win! Refer to the scratchie winners table for a full list of our lucky top prize winners.

All Scratch’n’Win tickets are computer generated and printed under strict security conditions. Each ticket in each game is unique. The printing process ensures that no ticket can be tampered with, altered or mistreated in any way to reveal the game underneath. The latex is also designed to disintegrate on scratching to retain the integrity of each ticket.

Prizes may be claimed in all Scratch'n'Win games for up to 12 months from the date the last book of tickets was issued from Lotterywest for sale. Prizes may not be claimed after the expiry date. In accordance with the Lotteries Commission Act any unclaimed prize money is distributed to WA community organisations via Lotterywest’s Direct Grants Program.

To find out how much time you've got left to claim your prize, refer to the prize expiry table to see if an expiry date has been set.

No, Scratch'n'Win tickets are not able to be purchased online. Find your nearest Lotterywest store to purchase a ticket.

Buy a share in-store

Visit a Lotterywest store to buy a share in a syndicate. Simply ask what shares are available for the game you want to play or how much you would like to spend. If you have a Lotterywest membership, make sure you register your ticket against it so your winnings are automatically paid out to it.

Create your own

You can create your own syndicate with friends and family. Start by downloading the Syndicate Planner and select the game and ticket options you want to play. Then you're ready to visit your local Lotterywest store and fill in a playslip or ask for a Slikpik. Ask the retailer to print a valid share ticket for each syndicate member. This gives each person the peace of mind and convenience to claim their share of prizes on winning entries themselves. You can read more about syndicates here.

• The syndicate planner makes keeping your records easy.
• All syndicates need at least five shares at a minimum cost of $5 each. This means all syndicates have a minimum total cost of $25.
• Syndicates are a great way to try Systems – you’ll get more chances per draw while sharing the cost of the ticket amongst all players

Fewer numbers

Increase your chances of winning a prize by reducing how many Winning Numbers you need to have on your ticket. For example, a System 4 Saturday Lotto ticket will only require the four numbers on your ticket to be chosen as Winning Numbers in order to win Division 1. The other two numbers are guaranteed with this ticket type.

More numbers

Increase your chances of winning a prize by getting more numbers in each game.

A System entry allows you to play up to 20 of your selected numbers, and every possible combination of those numbers. For example, select six numbers to play a System 6 entry, select 18 numbers to play a System 18, and so on. You can choose your own numbers on a playslip or ask for a Slikpik.

Here’s an example of how System entries work by using a System 8 Saturday Lotto entry:

• Select any eight numbers between 1 and 45, for example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
• Your System 8 entry will contain 28 games, each with six number combinations of your selected eight numbers.
• Your ticket will only display your eight chosen numbers, however your entry actually has 28 games.
• Winning System entries pay multiple prizes because each game contains a similar pattern of numbers. For example, if the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are among the Saturday Lotto Winning Numbers, games 1 to 6 would each be eligible for a prize.

 
Tip

Joining a syndicate is a great way to play Systems! A syndicate is a group of lottery players who share the cost of a Lotto ticket to play more games and increase the chances of winning.

Systems are available for Lotto through fewer numbers entries (Systems 4 to 5) or more numbers entries (Systems 7 to 20). To buy a Lotto Systems ticket:

Systems are available for Powerball through fewer numbers entries (Systems 5 and 6) or more number entries (Systems 8 to 20). To buy a Powerball Systems ticket:

• Mark the System number you wish to play on a Powerball Playslip. Then mark the Pick 7 section of the game board with the appropriate number of numbers for the System (8 numbers for System 8). Mark one number in the Pick 1 section for the Powerball number.
• Ask for a Powerball System Slikpik in-store and a ticket will be issued with randomly generated numbers for you.
• Log in to your Lotterywest membership to choose your own numbers or request a Systems Slikpik.

With fewer numbers System entries, your selection of numbers is then combined with all remaining numbers (1 to 35) to create every possible seven digit combination (plus your Powerball selection) containing your selected numbers.

More numbers System entries use your selection of numbers to create every possible seven digit combination (plus your Powerball selection) containing your selected numbers.

View the Powerball Systems table.

A Powerpik System entry contains all 20 numbers for the Powerball so you only need to match the seven Winning Numbers drawn from barrel A. Powerpik System entries are available for Systems 5 and 6 and Systems 8 to 14.

To buy a Powerpik System:

• Mark the Systems number you wish to play on a Powerball playslip. Then mark the Pick 7 section of the game board with the appropriate number of numbers for the System. Mark the POWERPIK box. Leave the Pick 1 section of the game board blank

• Log in to your Lotterywest membership to choose your own numbers or request a Systems Slikpik

View the Powerpik Systems table.

Systems are no longer available for Set for Life.

With a System ticket you can win multiple prizes with a single entry. For example, let's say you purchase a Saturday Lotto System 7 entry containing seven numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

The Winning Numbers drawn are 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12 and the two Supplementary Numbers are 6 and 7.

You will be able to match three Winning Numbers and two Supplementary Numbers. If you were to write out every combination of the seven games a System 7 entry gives you, you'd find that you have won four Division 5 prizes.

Refer to our how to play Systems brochure for prize tables of each type of winning System entry played.

System entries cover multiple combinations of numbers so they cost more than a normal entry. Check out our cost of entry brochure to find out what it costs to play a System entry in your favourite game. 

Combo Packs are available exclusively in-store and are an easy way to play most of your favourite games throughout the week. Choose the option suited to your budget and your retailer will print a ticket for each game included in your chosen Combo Pack and give you all the tickets. Make sure you have all the games before you leave the store!

• All tickets are Slikpik entries so there's no need to fill in a playslip
• You get to play your favourite games throughout the week
• You can 'ticket repeat' some or all of your Combo Pack tickets
• They are a great gift idea

Each Combo Pack is made up of different games and number of draws. For example, the $30 pack includes:

• 8 Saturday Lotto games
• 6 Monday Lotto games
• 4 OZ Lotto games
• 5 Wednesday Lotto games
• 4 Powerball games
• 1 Set for Life game
• 2 Cash 3 games
• 1 Super66 games

Ask in-store to see which games are in the different Combo Pack options.

The combination of games in a Combo Pack is fixed. If the combination contains a game that you do not wish to play, you may like to purchase the games separately instead.

All Combo Pack tickets are Slikpik entries so there’s no need to fill in a playslip.

Combo Packs can be purchased any day of the week. The pack will include a ticket in every game included in the pack for the seven days from the day of purchase.

As each Combo Pack contains a separate ticket for each game so you can claim your prize the day following that draw. Simply take your ticket in-store and remember to hold on to the remaining tickets in your pack until all the draws are complete.

The cost of each game is the same in the Combo Packs as they would be if you bought them separately; we've just packaged them up for your convenience.

Unfortunately not but you are able to purchase a Combo Pack and choose to start any day within the next seven days of your purchase.

Unfortunately, syndicate options are not available for Combo Packs.

However your e-wallet can only contain a maximum of $5,000.

Lotterywest does not charge any handling fees for prize payouts.

2. Innovative Service Models - the expected outcome of this stream is the development of innovative business models or service delivery models that support community organisations to achieve greater impact.
   
   
3. Sector Collaboration - the expected outcome of this stream is enhanced collaboration across the not-for-profit sector towards shared goals.

We’re looking to understand what your organisation needs to be more effective and resilient in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’re looking to understand how you can deliver services, or operate different business models, in a new and innovative way to deliver better outcomes to the community during or after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Example projects include:

• Scaling up an IT based service innovation that enabled an organisation to reach more people during COVID-19.
• Support for a community organisation to transition or expand its programs to online platforms to improve customer access to services.

This collaboration needs to support better outcomes for the community in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

This may include collaborative projects such as:

• Development and implementation of a collective data and outcomes management system across a number of organisations working with vulnerable people to improve analysis of changing needs and inform service responses.
• Support for community groups working in the same area to develop a collective approach to recruiting and involving volunteers to offer a wider range of opportunities, and achieve a greater impact in the community

• Implementation of a sector or cross sector project to address gaps, barriers and opportunities for collaboration during the response to COVID-19.
• An online event to enable a network of community organisations across the State to share the resources, tools, and methods used to pivot services during the pandemic.
• An initial scoping project or implementation of a well-developed plan for a group of organisations to address the technological, systems and operational barriers to integrated service provision which were highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Preparatory work to scope a project which would enable not-for-profits to share, buy or sell under-utilised resources, expertise and spare capacity e.g. buildings, vehicles, equipment, specialist staff skills, back office services.

The following specific assessment considerations relate to each grant stream :

• Stream 1 – Organisational Capacity and Governance: Your proposal should respond to an emerging organisational issue due to, or exacerbated by, the impact of COVID-19. It should result in your organisation being better positioned for any further crisis.
• Stream 2 – Innovative Service Models: Your proposal should respond to opportunities to innovate and better serve the needs of the community during and following the COVID-19 crisis. It should be possible for learnings to be shared with others.
• Stream 3 – Sector Collaboration: The proposal should respond to opportunities to collaborate and better serve the needs of the community during and following the COVID-19 crisis. It should be clear who will benefit from the collaboration and how, with the right people/organisations involved. The collaboration should contribute to the sector’s longer-term effectiveness, resilience and sustainability, with learnings able to be shared more broadly.

In addition to the above, the following general assessment considerations are relevant across all Strengthening and Adapting Organisations grant streams:

1. Value for money: Your proposal should include a clear, realistic budget with accurate costs supported by quotes. Collaboration in delivery and/or funding of the project is encouraged.
2. Organisational capacity: Your proposal will need to demonstrate that your organisation has the skills, experience, governance arrangements, relationships and capacity to successfully deliver the proposal, and that your organisation is likely to be better positioned to respond to any further crisis as a result.
3. Merit of proposal: Your proposal should address one or more of the program outcomes with sound planning (including consultation if appropriate) and realistic outcomes that are achievable in the current context and that can be measured and evaluated.
