Our state lotto gives up the ghost and will stop playing with its own balls.

Title:


GET LUCKY WITH LOTTO THREE TIMES A WEEK

From next month, Saturday’s Lotto excitement will continue throughout the
week as Monday and Wednesday host their very own weekly Lotto draws.

From 1 May, SA Lotteries will join with New South Wales Lotteries and Lotterywest (Western Australia) to bring $1.75 million in Division One Lotto prizes to lucky players every week in place of SA Lotteries’ locally drawn SA Lotto game.

A guaranteed $1 million Division One prize pool will be offered in Lotto every Monday, and $750,000 will be up for grabs every Wednesday.

To align the game with South Australia’s favourite Saturday Lotto game, there will be five prize divisions for Lotto – Monday and Wednesday. The cost of entry remains the same as SA Lotto at 30 cents per game plus agent commission.

Tickets for Lotto – Monday and Wednesday will be available from all SA Lotteries agencies across the State from Thursday 27 April.

Just like all SA Lotteries games, the profits from Lotto – Monday and Wednesday will be returned to the South Australian community via the State Hospitals Fund and Recreation and Sport Fund.
