How To Play Lotto

Picking Numbers

You might already have a strategy for choosing your lotto numbers. But there is no one way for number picking when it comes to how to play lotto online. It’s completely up to you! Some are based on emotion, some on mathematics, and some are completely random.

  • Lucky numbers
  • Birthdays
  • Famous combinations
  • Mathematical sequences
  • Alphabetical equivalent
  • Automatic selection

Certain lotto tickets are designed to increase your chances of winning simply by making it easier for you to play more combinations of numbers. If you want to get really technical, you can also analyse statistics from historical draws to discover the current “hot” and “cold” numbers. But remember that lotto is always a game of chance – you can’t trick the system!

If you’re the kind of lotto player who plays an 18-game Quickpick every week, it might be time to branch out. Have a look at the other ticket types on offer and consider giving them a go in the next draw.

Standard

A Standard ticket is the easiest way to play. Each standard game of numbers offers you one chance of winning a prize. You also have the ability to select your own numbers or Quickpick (auto-select random numbers) for each game.

Syndicate

A Syndicate ticket allows you to share system entries and prizes with other players. Syndicates allow you to cover more numbers by sharing the cost between the members of a group. Playing more games increases the chance of winning a prize. If the syndicate ticket wins a prize, the total winnings will be divided equally among all of the members of the syndicate.

System

A System ticket allows you to play more numbers than a standard entry by providing you with an entry that covers every combination of the numbers you have chosen. This type of entry will increase your chances of winning by playing a bigger range of number combinations.

Super Combo

A Super Combo is an exclusive Oz Lotteries ticket that gives you a way to play more numbers across as many games as you choose. It lets you enter more number combinations than a Standard game entry, but does not cover all possible number combinations like a Systems entry would.
