Lotteries of Australia

Australia is famous not only for its incredible views, deserts and kangaroos. It’s also famous because this country is almost the capital of gambling, alongside with America, England, Ireland and Spain.

Despite the fact that lotteries are simple games, they still bring great benefits to the state every year. They add to the state budget about three billion dollars, which then go to good deeds, for example, the construction of a hospital for women or the construction of one of the symbols of the country, the main attraction of Sydney and just a monument of architecture - the Sydney National Opera Theatre. So, we will tell you about the most popular lotteries, which simply adore all Australians.

OZ PowerBall is an equivalent of the American lottery with a similar name. But it has some differences. For example, even in how the draw is held. In Australia they are held every week on Thursday. The essence of this lottery is that six balls with numbers are drawn from two separate lotto machines. Only the person who will guess all six numbers collects the Jackpot. A fairly simple and exciting game often brings a win more often than the rest of the lottery.

OZ Lotto is the lottery running since 1994 and during this time it managed to get the status of a nationwide one, which is very important. It was in its first run that Oz Lotto became the link for all the states of Australia and even residents of South Wales took part, which until then had not participated in any of the draws. The basics of the game are the same as in the previous lottery, only you need to guess seven numbers. It is because of these seven numbers everyone in the world knows Oz Lotto as Super Seven.

Saturday National Lotto is the very first and old lottery in Australia, which was first on TV screens broadcast live in 1972 and since then every Saturday has been attracting most Australians to their television screens. The main prize is four million dollars and almost every month, every player is given the opportunity to win a super-game, where the prize is thirty million dollars.

The jackpot can win everyone who over 18 years old. A few years ago, the biggest prize in the history of Australian lotteries $108 million went to two lucky beggars and then later two residents of Victoria and Wales received 30 and 80 million. Therefore, you can grab the big lot just purchasing lottery tickets from Australia.
