OZ Lotto
Oz Lotto is one of Australia's most popular national lottery games, offering players the chance to win a wide range of prizes for as little as AU$1.30 per ticket.
Oz Lotto draws take place weekly on Tuesdays at 19:30 Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Players choose seven numbers between 1 and 45 or can use the Quick Pick feature to play with seven randomly generated numbers.
Additionally, Oz Lotto online can be played using multiple lines at once, by manually choosing numbers for each entry, buying Quick Pick tickets in bulk or by using the System Entry feature. The System Entry feature enables players to pick up to 20 numbers, which are then entered into the draw in multiple combinations.
Jackpot
Oz Lotto has no rollover or jackpot cap.
While the minimum guaranteed Oz Lotto jackpot is AU$2 million, jackpots frequently surpass this due to the long odds of winning.
The largest Oz Lotto wins are:
- AU$111,972,151 shared by four winners in November 2012.
- AU$106,500,000 shared by two winners in June 2009.
- AU$70,000,000 shared by 10 winners in December 2013.

History of Oz Lotto
The first Oz Lotto draw took place on February 26, 1994, and was Australia’s first national lottery game, with previous lotteries being run and administered at state level only.
From the first draw in 1994 until October 18, 2005, players chose six numbers rather than the seven chosen today. This change increased the odds of winning the jackpot.
