How can I play OZ Lotto?

Wherever you are in the world, we give you the opportunity to bet on the outcome of this lottery rather than purchase a ticket.

Betting on OZ Lotto is done in the same way as if you were playing the lottery, and it is quite easy! All you need to do is head over to our OZ Lotto page, select 7 numbers between 1-47, and click on ‘Add to Cart’ to finalise your transaction.

When the drawdown happens, the system will select 10 numbers: 7 main numbers and then another 3 bonus numbers. The reason for a 10 number drawdown is that it makes it a bit easier for players to match their own numbers to those drawn. Players can match any of their numbers to those drawn to try and form a bigger matching set. The more numbers matched, the bigger the prize!

Changes have been made to the numbers matrix so players must now select numbers up to 47 instead of 45. Additionally, the system now selects 3 supplementary numbers instead of the previous 2.
