The odds of winning vary for each game. Visit each of the games information pages to find out the odds at various prize levels, for all our games.

Overall odds are the chance of winning any of the prize divisions in lottery draw games or prize levels in a Scratch'n'Win game. Division 1 or Top Prize odds refers to your chance of winning only the Top Prize in the game played.

There’s no skill or strategy that will increase your chance of winning as the chance of winning doesn’t change. You buy just that, a chance to win, not a guarantee.

• Set for Life

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.

Superdraw is a super-sized Saturday Lotto event giving you the chance to win a share in a $20 million Division 1 prize pool!

Cashcade is a special event for Monday and Wednesday Lotto. If there are no Division 1 winners, Divisions 2-6 will share the $1,000,000 Division 1 prize, PLUS their usual Division 2-6 prize! Find out more here.

Double Win Day is a special event for Monday and Wednesday Lotto. If you win a prize in Divisions 2-6, it will automatically be doubled!

During the year OZ Lotto has special Prize Boost events which will boost the amount players win in a normal draw. The boost will apply to Division 2 to 7 (excludes Division 1) and will happen regardless whether Division 1 is won or not. 

OZ Lotto's Prize Boost amount will vary from event to event, winners get the standard prize money on offer for their division, but a Prize Boost on top of this!

Million-Yeah Saturday is special Saturday Lotto draw where $1 million is guaranteed for up to 10 Division 1 winners! If you’re the only winner, you’ll win the usual Saturday Division 1 prize of an estimated $5 million! Click here to find out more. 

Lottery games and Scratch'n'Win are all games of chance. This means that when you play, there are certain chances ('odds') that you will win on any single game. Whether you win or not is unpredictable, and not something you can control in any way.

Each line of Lotto numbers has an identical chance of winning. The only way to improve your odds is to buy more entries. An affordable way to do this is to play in a syndicate so that you split the cost with others and boost your odds at the same time.

No - all that matters is the odds of winning the game, and how many lines are purchased.

The lower the number the more improved the odds are, so the game with 1 in 4 odds has a better chance of winning any prize than the game with 1 in 6 odds.

In lottery games, Winning Numbers are selected at random and there is no way to predict what numbers will come up. So as numbers are random;
• It doesn’t matter if you have a favourite number or have used the same set of numbers for years.
• The odds stay the same whether you choose your own numbers or select a Slikpik.
• There’s no skill or strategy that will increase your chance of winning.
• You buy a chance to win. Not a guarantee.
• Each number has an equal chance of being drawn.

• $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.

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.

Imagine a game with 1 in 4 odds has 4 million tickets - 1 million of those will be winners. Imagine putting all 4 million tickets into a giant bag and shaking them so they mix up randomly. The odds of winning will be 1 in 4, but that doesn’t mean if you reach into the bag 4 times then you’ll be guaranteed to pull out a winning ticket. It's the same with the Scratch'n'Win tickets that you buy - they are printed and randomly sent out to Lotterywest retailers across Western Australia, so your chance of winning for each ticket is 1 in 4 across all tickets sold in WA.

S'n'W overall Odds for a game = Total number of tickets / Number of winning tickets

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:

• Mark the System number you wish to play on a Lotto Playslip. Then mark a game board with the appropriate amount of numbers for the System (4 to 5, or 7 to 20) and the day you wish to play (Saturday, Monday or Wednesday)
• Ask for a Saturday, Monday or Wednesday Lotto Systems 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 45) to create every possible six digit combination containing your selected numbers.

More numbers System entries use your selection of numbers to create every possible six digit combination containing your selected numbers.

View the Monday and Wednesday Lotto Systems table or view the Saturday Lotto Systems table.

Systems are available for OZ Lotto through fewer numbers entries (Systems 4 to 6) or more numbers entries (Systems 8 to 19). To buy an OZ Lotto Systems ticket:

View the OZ Lotto Systems table.

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
• Ask for a Powerpik 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

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. 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.

Retailer incentives and rewards

Each year, retailers are invited to participate in a number of Sales Sprints that support Lotterywest marketing campaigns.  These are usually two to three weeks long and reward retailers for their sales performance and engagement with Lotterywest.

You are an eligible organisation if you’re:

• a not-for-profit organisation (i.e. none of the profits go to owners or shareholders); or
• a local government authority.

Smaller not-for-profits may prefer to be auspiced by an eligible organisation. Contact us for more information if you are considering this approach.

Your organisation also needs to:

• be an Australian entity and operating within Western Australia;
• not be operating on behalf of the State or Federal Government;
• have the authority to undertake the proposed grant activities; or
• have an organisational structure that does not allow for the distribution of profit or personal gain during operation and/or in the event of wind up.

Click here for information on what we can support.

Click here for information what we can’t support.

We accept applications from $3,000 upwards. Please don't under or overestimate your request. Request the amount that will support your initiative, has a strong case to support it, meets relevant assessment considerations and demonstrates value for money.

The limit for unincorporated groups or organisations not GST registered is a combined total of up to $15,000 for each financial year, unless auspiced by another not-for-profit organisation or a local government authority.

In terms of how much of your project we will fund, we are a complementary grant maker. It is expected that others will contribute as appropriate to the cost of initiatives, both financially and/or in kind.

Lotterywest seeks to achieve its vision of ‘Building a better WA together’ by working with eligible organisations, including those who may receive government funding.

Projects or initiatives that could/should be funded through contractual or individualised Government funding arrangements will not be supported. Grant support should instead be directed as appropriate to value-add components/initiatives that are clearly not the responsibility of another agency or under any contractual arrangement.

Given the range and complexity of arrangements, we encourage organisations to discuss their grant application with us before applying.

Please note that from the point of formal application, it can take up to four months for a grant to be assessed and approved, or longer should further work be required. If you have a time sensitive proposal, please call our team to discuss your options.

Please call us if you plan to make multiple applications in a year so we can work with you on how best to do this.

You can find an example of the Lotterywest Grant Request Form here. When you are ready to apply and have logged in to the portal you will find the Request Form under the heading ‘Request Funding’.

Your application will be assessed by our team against the assessment criteria and a recommendation is then made to the Lotterywest Board.

A typical grant process looks like this:

1. Seek information via Lotterywest website
2. Talk with us about your proposal
3. Gather your requirements and necessary documentation
4. Develop and submit your application
5. Assessment, including referee checks and any follow up conversation and requests for information from you
6. Our internal review and recommendation to the Board
7. Board meeting and review
8. Recommendation to the Minister responsible for Lotterywest (the Premier)
9. Application decision and written advice to you
10. Grant payment
11. Sharing your good news
12. Evaluation, reporting and acquittal

Your public acknowledgment helps spread the word about your initiative and Lotterywest’s contribution to the community. It also helps inform people about how playing Lotterywest games enables us to provide grants like yours.

Visit Sharing the news for resources on how you can acknowledge Lotterywest grant support.

All organisations are required to agree to the standard Lotterywest Conditions of Grant which needs to be signed upfront for every application.

Further conditions specific to your grant may also apply. These are communicated in the grant approval letter. Please refer to the Grant Approval Schedule. An example is available here.

We do not support the GST component of any items purchased by the grant unless exceptional circumstances apply. Please call us to discuss if need be.

If your organisation is registered for GST, please don't include the GST component in your request.

Lotterywest grant conditions and documents must be signed by the persons legally able to enter into contracts on behalf of your organisation. We refer to these persons as the legal signatories.

Where your Organisation is an incorporated or unincorporated association, this document must be signed by the Chairperson/President of the Organisation and another committee member.

Where your Organisation is a company/corporation, this document is signed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act 2001 or section 99.5 of the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (whichever is applicable) by:

(a) two Directors; or

(b) a Director and a Company Secretary; or

(c) as our company/corporation has only one Director, that Director

Your organisation’s legal signatory may choose to give this responsibility to someone else within your organisation - we refer to this person as the ‘Delegated Authority’. If this is the case for your organisation, you need to complete our Delegated Signing Authority Form. A copy is available here.

Please note: you only need to complete this form once and it will remain on our records for future grant applications. You will only need to complete this form again if your legal signatory or ‘Delegated Authority’ changes.

Lotterywest provides written advice on the outcome of all applications. If your grant is approved, we will advise you of payment arrangements and our requirements for reporting on the grant and acquitting (accounting for) the funds. This information is detailed in the Grant Approval Schedule. An example is available here. You can track the status of your application in the Lotterywest Portal.

Once a grant is approved, you will be notified about what has been approved and any requirements for payments to be made. This information is detailed in the Grant Approval Schedule.

Provided you have met all applicable prepayment requirements, your payment will be paid on the scheduled payment date.

You can view your Grant Approval Schedule and upcoming payments in the Portal.

Retrospective costs (for items or expenses incurred prior to grant approval) will not be covered by the grant unless in exceptional circumstances.

All grants made by Lotterywest are provided exclusive of GST on the items that the grant has been approved for, unless otherwise advised. However, if your organisation is registered for GST, when Lotterywest makes a payment of grant monies to your organisation, a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) will be available to view in the Portal, which identifies a GST component that has been included within the payment to your organisation. This GST component is required by the Australian Taxation Office, as GST due on the grant payment itself and should be forwarded by your organisation to the Australian Tax Office. It is not to be treated as a reimbursement for any GST you may have paid on goods or services related to your claim for payment. RCTI will be available in the Portal.

Grants are paid through an electronic funds transfer. Please ensure the bank account details provided are your organisation’s main operating account and these account details are always kept up to date in the Portal.

All organisations who receive our support are accountable for their expenditure and reporting on the grant within the agreed timeframe. Our grant conditions, payment, accountability and acquittal processes will be explained to you during the grant assessment process and detailed in the approval letter and attached Grant Approval Schedule. It’s important to read your grant approval letter and the Grant Approval Schedule.

Generally, the grant acquittal will require you to:

• Use the grant for the approved purpose
• Meet any grant conditions, including overall conditions that must be met prior to payment and grant accountability (including for evaluation and reporting)
• Prepare an Income and Expenditure statement

Complete the Lotterywest Final Acquittal Report in the Portal. This report includes questions related to your grant expenditure, the number of volunteers and beneficiaries involved in the grant, the activities and outcomes delivered, as well as any learnings and insights from your grant initiative.

We need to know of changes to your organisation's details such as bank details, name, legal signatory or GST status. You can make these changes in the Lotterywest Portal at any time.

Let us know if there are changes to your project or the key members involved as soon as possible. By notifying us, we can work with you to ensure these changes do not affect the intended outcomes of your grant. Please advise us of these changes through the Portal.

Yes. The request should be made in writing within 60 working days of receiving formal advice of the decision to the attention of Lotterywest CEO, and signed by your organisation's Chairperson or authorised delegate.

A request for review will not impact the consideration of any future applications.

Lotterywest and Healthway are launching a new Grants Management System (GMS) to provide a better experience for grant applicants by introducing the Lotterywest Healthway Grants Portal. From 31 July 2023, you’ll be able to apply for grants, track progress and manage your approved grants from one central location.

A GMS is a web-based platform that supports the management of the entire grant life cycle and allows organisations like us, to manage grants from application to acquittal. A good GMS promotes efficiency, effectiveness and supports risk management, as well as improves the customer experience in managing applications and funding.

Our new GMS will bring together Lotterywest and Healthway in a centralised Portal, streamlining the grants process for grant applicants. Grant applicants will be able to access Lotterywest and Healthway services from a single login, where they can view a live status of their funding request or grant as it progresses through the approval and acquittal process.

You can:

• Request a new Lotterywest or Healthway grant.
• Update your organisation’s details including adding governance documents, annual reports and financial statements.
• View your organisation’s grant history, including past and current grant requests.
• Submit amendment requests for current grants.
• Report on your grant, including submitting progress and final acquittal reports.
• View upcoming payments for active grants.
• Click here to view a how-to guide

Details of your current grant will appear in the new Portal. You’ll be able to manage acquittals, submit reports and see upcoming payments.

No. Funding programs and eligibility criteria remain unchanged. The request forms will look different, however all required documentation and information will remain the same as previous grant submission processes.

Prior to submitting a funding request, you’ll need to ensure your organisation details are up-to-date. These details will be verified by our Customer Service team which will take up to two business days. You’ll not be able to submit a request until these details have been confirmed.

After the shutdown begins on 16 June 2023, you’ll no longer have access to the GMT. All post approval documentation will be required to be submitted through our new Portal.

Those with active grants will need to use the Portal to submit post approval documentation.

The grant development process has not changed, and grant applicants will continue to have a dedicated assessor as a point of contact throughout the application process.

No. The timeframe remains the same. 

Applications that have not been submitted will not be migrated to the new Portal. If you’re in the process of an application, please submit it prior to the shutdown period which starts on the 16 June 2023.

No, your organisation will not have a BP number. Each person associated with your organisation will have a unique login which allows you to access your organisation’s portal.

Each member of your organisation needs to sign up and be verified by our Customer Services team before you’re provided access to the Portal. It will take up to two business days for a registration to be verified.

If you’re a legal signatory or contact person for a current Lotterywest and/or Healthway supported organisation, you have been sent an email with your username and instructions on how to set up a password.

If you’re a new representative for an existing grantee organisation, or if you’re registering a new organisation, please follow the instructions on this how-to guide. It will take up to two business days for new users to be granted access.

Yes. All previous requests will be available for viewing in the Portal.

You will no longer need to make a claim in the new Portal. If your payment is subject to conditions (e.g. provision of a progress report) you’ll need to complete the appropriate report in the Portal. Once that has been approved, your payment will be paid in the next weekly pay run.

If your payment has no conditions, it will be paid in the next weekly pay run after it’s due. You’ll not need to do anything to receive your payment and you’ll be able to see conditions on your payment under the ‘reports’ tab in the Portal.

Click here to see how to submit a report.

You’ll need to register against each organisation. This means you’ll have more than one set of login details (one for each organisation).

It depends on the type of organisation and these details will be provided in the new Portal. Eligibility criteria remains unchanged, and the required documents will remain the same as what’s currently required.

Yes. You can save a draft of your request. Others in your organisation will be able to view and edit your request within the Portal. You’ll be able to download a copy of your draft request.

No. While both Lotterywest and Healthway are grant makers and work to build a better and healthier Western Australia, each organisation has its own legislation, governing Board and strategic objectives.

Lotterywest returns all available profits from its lottery to the WA community and its grant-making focuses on five priority areas:

• Inclusive thriving community
• Connected cultural experiences
• Protected sustainable ecosystems
• Smart Innovative society
• Active healthy people (delivered in partnership with Healthway)

Healthway, the Western Australian Health Promotion Foundation, funds sport, arts, community activities, health promotion projects and research to inspire Western Australians to live healthier lives.

No. Lotterywest and Healthway supported organisations will be able to login in the same place. Your organisation’s information will only have to be uploaded and verified once.

It depends on what type of organisation you are. Each organisation type has different requirements surrounding their respective eligibility and funding.

Yes. As they’re separate organisations, you can apply to both if your organisation meets the eligibility requirements.

No. Lotterywest and Healthway have separate application and assessment processes. However, our team can work with you if you intend to apply to both organisations for the same request.

As the Portal is a central system for both Lotterywest and Healthway, the information provided in your funding request may be accessed by both organisations.

No. You’ll need to apply for funding to each organisation separately, however our team will assist to simplify the process.

No. Maximum amounts are separate and depend on what type of organisation you are and which program you are applying for. Lotterywest has a minimum request amount of $3,000
