Lotto Odds
Lotto offers players a fantastic 1 in 9.3 chance of winning any prize! The table below outlines the odds of winning each of the six available prize tiers, from Match 2 up to the jackpot:
Big changes are coming to Lotto later this year: On Sunday 7th June 2026, Lotto and Lotto HotPicks are getting a major upgrade. Every ticket will now feature two drawings—Round 1 and Round 2—for the price of one. Ticket prices aren't changing, and there’s nothing new for you to do, as numbers are automatically entered into both rounds. This means doubled winning chances, better overall odds, and extra excitement in every draw, starting Wednesday 10th June 2026. Find out more here.
