Oz Lotto

Oz Lotto is one of Australia's premier lottery games, operated by the Lott. First introduced in February 1994, Oz Lotto was Australia's first national lottery game. It features a unique 7-from-45 format (changed to 7-from-47 in 2005) that offers larger prize pools and more prize tiers than many international lotteries. Oz Lotto draws take place every Tuesday and have produced jackpots exceeding $100 million AUD. The game is available in all Australian states and territories.

Select 7 numbers from 1 to 47. Each game costs around $1.40 AUD (varies by state). Two supplementary numbers are drawn from the remaining balls. Match all 7 main numbers to win Division 1 (jackpot). Supplementary numbers are used for Divisions 2 and 6. You can use QuickPick for random selections or choose a System entry to cover more combinations.

Oz Lotto draws take place every Tuesday at approximately 8:30 PM AEST. Ticket sales close about 30 minutes before the draw.

Oz Lotto has 7 prize divisions. Division 1 requires matching all 7 main numbers (jackpot). Division 2 requires 6 main + 1 supplementary. Divisions go down to Division 7 (3 main + 1 supplementary). The jackpot starts at $2 million AUD and grows with each rollover.

Oz Lotto has better jackpot odds than US Powerball or Mega Millions. With 7 main numbers to pick, the game offers more combinations per ticket. System entries are popular in Australia and can significantly improve your chances of winning multiple divisions.

Oz Lotto launched in February 1994 as the first Australian national lottery game. Originally a 6/45 game, it changed to 7/45 in October 2005 to increase prize pools. The number pool expanded to 1-47 at the same time. The game has produced some of Australia's largest lottery prizes.
