How to play Lotto
Pick six numbers from 1 to 40 on each line, or buy a Dip and let the terminal choose. A Lotto line costs $0.70 and a ticket needs at least four lines. Six winning numbers are drawn from 40 balls, then a seventh, the bonus ball, which can lift a winning line to the next division. Division 1 pays $1 million, shared if there is more than one winner.
| Division | Match on one line | Chance per line (1 in) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 numbers | 3,838,380 |
| 2 | 5 numbers + bonus ball | 639,730 |
| 3 | 5 numbers | 19,386 |
| 4 | 4 numbers + bonus ball | 7,754 |
| 5 | 4 numbers | 485 |
| 6 | 3 numbers + bonus ball | 363 |
| 7 | 3 numbers | 35 |
Powerball
Powerball adds a number from 1 to 14 to each Lotto line for an extra $0.80 per line, again with at least four lines. Match it on a winning Lotto line and the prize is boosted. Division 1 needs all six Lotto numbers plus the Powerball: the jackpot starts at $5 million, grows until it is won, and becomes a Must Be Won draw at around $60 million.
| Division | Match on one line | Chance per line (1 in) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 numbers + Powerball | 53,373,732 |
| 2 | 5 + bonus ball + Powerball | 8,956,220 |
| 3 | 5 numbers + Powerball | 271,401 |
| 4 | 4 + bonus ball + Powerball | 108,560 |
| 5 | 4 numbers + Powerball | 6,785 |
| 6 | 3 + bonus ball + Powerball | 5,089 |
| 7 | 3 numbers + Powerball | 492 |
| 8 | 2 + bonus ball + Powerball | 657 |
Strike
Strike uses the first four Lotto numbers drawn, in the order they come out. A line costs $1, on its own or with Lotto. Match all four in the right order for the Strike 4 jackpot, which starts at $200,000 and must be won once it reaches $1.5 million.
| Prize | Match | Chance per line (1 in) |
|---|---|---|
| Strike 4 | All 4 in order | 2,193,360 |
| Strike 3 | 3 in order | 15,232 |
| Strike 2 | 2 in order | 274 |
| Strike 1 | 1 in order | 11 |
