A ‘Standard’ game is played by choosing seven (7) numbers from a selection of 1 to 45. Nine (9) numbers will randomly be selected by lottery officials comprising seven (7) regular and two (2) supplementary numbers. If your numbers match the first seven (7) selected by the lottery company, then you will win or at least share in the 1st Division prize pool.

You can also play ‘Multi-week’ entries for both Tuesday Oz lotto and other Lotto games, using the same numbers for weeks, months or even years at a time. This is not only a very convenient way to play, but it also ensures you never miss getting your entries in – Especially, if your numbers happen to come up and you forgot to buy your online lotto entry that week!

There are also ‘Systems’ entries, which allows you to choose more numbers per game than the standard (7) and thus increasing your chances of winning.

History

Oz Lotto was first introduced in 1994 and was drawn on a different day back then. Originally it was played the same as Saturday Lotto where you chose six numbers out of 45, however all that changed on October 18, 2005 when a seventh number was added to the draw, increasing the odds of winning Division 1 as an individual rather than sharing it with other players as was often the case when only (6) numbers were required. As a result, the Oz Lotto brand and marketing heavily emphasised the seventh number. For instance, Tattersalls has Super 7 and Golden Casket has Oz 7. Whilst Oz Lotto requires seven numbers to be chosen, its minimum prize level remains at three winning numbers and either of the (2) supplementary numbers.

Fun Fact

The biggest Oz Lotto jackpot prize ever won in Australia, was AUD$107 million in January 2019, when a Sydney nurse picked the right numbers to be the sole winner of the huge first division prize pool. Since then. Oz Lotto has jackpotted to over AUD$100 million on many occasions.
