Everyone has lucky numbers, and playslips are the best place to use them. You can create tickets using your own numbers in-store, online or with the Lotterywest App. If you’re using your numbers in-store, follow the instructions on the back of the playslip and present this to receive your ticket.

Systems are a play style where you get more numbers in each game, or reduce the number of Winning Numbers you need to have to win a prize. The more games you play in each draw, the better your chances of winning because Systems generate combinations of numbers to increase your odds. And because this ticket type multiplies the number of games you’re playing, a winning entry pays multiple prizes. It’s not sorcery, it’s just Systems!

If you’re a no fuss kind of Lotto player, Slikpiks are the easiest way to play. Just pick the draw, choose an option to match your budget, and we’ll give you a ticket of randomly generated numbers. Too easy!

What is a syndicate?

A syndicate is a group of people who play together to share the cost of the ticket and any winnings. By pooling your money together, you can play more games and increase your chances of winning! Plus it’s more fun playing in a team.

Syndicates are available for Saturday Lotto, Millionaire Medley, OZ Lotto, and Powerball. You can also play Systems as part of a syndicate. So grab a bunch of mates, or make some new ones, and increase your chances of winning today! Use our handy syndicate planner to help you start.

Join an existing syndicate

Visit a Lotterywest store to buy a share in an existing syndicate. Simply ask what shares are available for the game you would like to play or your ideal spend.

Create your own syndicate

If you have a group of friends, family or work colleagues, why not set up your own syndicate? Setting up your syndicate is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Gather your team
2. Decide on spend per person
3. Get your tickets (your local retailer can help you)

Syndicates allow you to share the excitement of the game and possibly a whole lot of money!

Lotterywest members registering syndicates

Register your individual share of a syndicate or multiple shares by scanning your membership card when creating your syndicate. Just remember, if the syndicate wins, all syndicate shares that are registered to your individual membership must be presented together with your card to claim the prize.

What's a Powerpik?

A Powerpik is a way to play, exclusive to Powerball. It gives you all 20 numbers from barrel B on your ticket, meaning you automatically have the winning Powerball number. The other seven Winning Numbers are up to you!

Why play Powerpiks?

By giving you the winning Powerball number, a Powerpik increases your chances of winning.

Six out of the nine prize divisions need the Powerball number to win, so a Powerpik gives you great odds of winning a prize!

What other types of tickets are there?

You can buy a range of different tickets to play Powerball including:

• Asking for a Slikpik
• Filling out a Playslip
• Playing a System entry

Syndicates are also a great way to play Powerball. By pooling your money together to share the cost of the ticket, you can play more games and increase your chances of winning! Plus it’s more fun to play in a team and you could be sharing a prize with your family or friends.

Combo packs are a great option if you're looking to play a range of our games across the week and get all your tickets in one purchase. Available exclusively in-store, with a range of options to choose from, there are the $20, $30 and $50 combo pack options that you know and love, and we've introduced a new $40 option to give you even more choice! All tickets are Slikpik entries so there’s no need to fill in a playslip.

Going away? There’s no reason to miss a draw! Stay in the game with Advance Play. Enter a draw up to nine weeks in advance for Lotto games and six draws in advance for Set for Life and Cash 3. Ask for a Slikpik or mark the Advance Play box on the front of your completed playslip and let the retailer know which draw you want to enter. You can also Advance Play your entries when you purchase online or through the app.

If you like to play the same numbers every week, save some time with a Multiweek ticket. Get ahead and buy tickets for draws two, five, or ten weeks in advance for Lotto or two, four, six, eight or ten weeks in advance for Set for Life. Your numbers will play automatically, so all you have to do is sit back and relax.

The more you know about the games and how the odds work, the better equipped you are to make informed decisions when you play. While the odds vary from game to game, the odds of winning all work the same way. No amount of thinking, planning, or strategising will have an impact on your likelihood of winning as each play is totally random and completely unpredictable for Lotto draw and Scratch'n'Win games.

And remember: you’re always in control of how much to spend, how often you play and for how long.
