How to play Megadraw
Megadraw is a Lotto event where the Division 1 prize pool is increased from an estimated $5 Million up to $30 Million. Lotto is a game of chance whereby six winning numbers and two supplementary numbers are randomly drawn from a barrel of 45 numbers. There are six winning prize divisions and to win a division one prize, you need to match all six winning numbers in a single game panel.
Entering the draw is easy, simply select the number of games you wish to play on your standard entry, then fill out your six preferred numbers ranging from 1 to 45. Looking for a simpler way to play? A QuickPick is the easiest way to play, choose how many games you’d like to play and the numbers are randomly generated for you.
How to win Megadraw
To win a Division 1 prize in Lotto’s Megadraw, you need to match all 6 winning numbers in one game. But you can still win a prize by matching as little as three of the winning numbers in one game. There are 6 prize divisions and hundreds of thousands of winners in every Megadraw, learn more about winning number combinations.
