A standard game costs $1.60. However, there are several ways to play that may affect the cost:

• Standard entry: $1.60 per game
• System entry: Allows you to choose more than 7 numbers, increasing your chances but also the cost
• QuickPick: The system randomly selects numbers for you, with options ranging from 1 to 50 games per entry
• Multi-week entries: Play the same numbers for up to 10 weeks

For example, a 12-game QuickPick would cost $19.20 (12 × $1.60), while a System 9 entry (which generates 36 standard games) would cost $57.60.

The largest lottery jackpot ever won was $111 million in November 2012, which was shared between two winning tickets. Other notable jackpots include:

• $90 million - Won by a single ticket holder in 2009
• $80 million - Multiple occasions with various winners
• $70 million - Several times throughout lottery's history

These massive jackpots occur when the Division 1 prize isn't won for several weeks, allowing it to jackpot and grow. The excitement builds across Australia as the jackpot climbs higher each week!

Good news for lottery winners: Lottery winnings are not taxed in Australia! This applies to all prizes from our lottery and other officially sanctioned lotteries.

However, there are some financial considerations to be aware of:

• Interest earned: While the winnings themselves aren't taxed, any interest earned from investing your winnings is considered income and will be taxed accordingly
• Gifting: If you give large amounts of your winnings to family or friends, they may be subject to gift taxes depending on the circumstances
• Business activities: If you use your winnings to start a business, any income from that business will be taxed normally

It's always recommended to consult with a financial advisor after winning a significant lottery prize to ensure you manage your windfall effectively.

In each lottery draw, 7 winning numbers are drawn first, followed by 2 supplementary numbers. The supplementary numbers are used to determine winners in Divisions 2, 4, and 7:

• Division 2: Match 6 winning numbers + 1 supplementary number
• Division 4: Match 5 winning numbers + 1 supplementary number
• Division 7: Match 3 winning numbers + 1 supplementary number

The supplementary numbers give you additional chances to win prizes even if you don't match all the main winning numbers. They're drawn from the same pool of numbers (1-45) but cannot be the same as the 7 main winning numbers.
