Your mattress begins to become lumpy?
Do not buy a new but save that money and play on Oz Lotteries Oz Lotto instead
Then you can win, as it was just a few weeks ago, a jackpot thanks to several rollovers of 80 million Aussidollars.
Yes, you did read the correct figures and it is a bit insane is it not?
OK, and what will you do with all that money?
Best will be to fix the mattress.
With 80 million you can get a load of 100 AUD and it is more than enough to fill all the voids in the old mattress.
As you can see, you have saved the cost of a new mattress.
But what are the odds that you can fix the mattress?
Let us first take a look about the game:
OZ Lotto numbers are drawn from a machine containing 45 balls, numbered from 1 to 45 inclusive.
For a standard game, you choose 7 numbers from this range.
In total, 9 balls are drawn of which the first 7 are the winning numbers.
• The last 2 balls are the supplementary or extra numbers.
• These supplementary balls are used to determine prizes in Divisions 2, 4 and 7.
Divisions
Divisions is a word used often when talking about Lotto Winnings instead of saying Levels or 5 correct balls and one supplementary, four right without any supplementary and so on.
Syndicate
As you will see very soon in the list below of different odds on the different division levels, the odds of winning a jackpot of Oz Lotto is extremely small (but not zero as is the case when you do not buy any lottery and are not playing at all)
By joining or starting a syndicate (or group play), you split the cost of the game with multiple people and you can jointly bet more numbers and increase the chances of winning dramatically.
But if the syndicate wins a prize, the total earnings will be divided equally among all members of the syndicate.
Nothing to cry blood about, if you did not play with the syndicate you had probably not won anything at all, so to play syndicate is not to choose between the plague and cholera.
Odds
Standard 12 Games
Division 1: 7 winning numbers 1:45,379,620 1:3,781,635
Division 2 6 winning numbers + 1 or 2 extra 1:3,241,401 1:270,117
Division 3 6 winning numbers 1:180,078 1:15,006
Division 4 5 winning numbers + 1 or 2 extra 1:29,602 1:2,467
Division 5 5 winning numbers 1:3,430 1:286
Division 6 4 winning numbers 1:154 1:13
Division 7 3 winning numbers + 1 or 2 extra 1:87 1:7
As you can see, the odds improved quite significantly by betting on more numbers about 15 times from 1 in 45 million to one of three thousand for the jackpot.
An additional advantage to play more numbers is (if we forget the dream about the jackpot for a moment) that you can win in several divisions because you can get right in divisions 2,3,4,5,6,7!
and heave money from them as well.
