Different types of Wednesday Lotto games

You can choose exactly how to play Wednesday Lotto. These are the four different entry types you can choose from: 

Standard entry

A Standard game is the easiest way to play for most people, and gives you 6 numbers per game. With a Standard entry, you can choose to play a QuickPick or select your own numbers. A QuickPick allows you to choose how many games you play, but the numbers are generated randomly for you. Your other option is to choose your own numbers, where you can select birthdays, anniversaries or other numbers that are special to you. 

System entry

With a System entry, you’re able to play more than the standard 6 numbers. You can choose 7 to 20 numbers, which gives you more chances to win as well as the chance to win across multiple divisions. 

Syndicate entry 

A Syndicate entry is made up of 10 shares. You can buy one or more shares in a Syndicate ticket. The cost of the ticket is split up between the players, which gives you more chances to win for less. If the syndicate wins, the prizes are shared equally among the syndicate shares.

Super Combo entry

This is an exclusive Oz Lotteries ticket that lets you play more numbers, across as many games as you want (up to 200). A Super Combo entry gives you the best of both a Standard entry and a System entry. You can choose from 10 to 45 numbers and then select how many games you’d like to play. Your selected numbers are then randomly combined across your games.

Where do I buy Wednesday Lotto?
