How Much Can I Win?
There’s no ceiling to the amount
that can be won in Lotto
because the Lotto Jackpot grows
bigger and bigger every day.
The bigger the number of entries
the bigger the Jackpot. And
if in any Lotto draw the Jackpot isn’t
won, it rolls over to the
following Lotto draw.

Entry into Game
Give your completed playslip with
the appropriate monies
to the National Lottery Lotto Age
nt and in return you will
receive your ticket for the draw(s).
The numbers will be
printed on your ticket reading acro
ss on one line for each
panel played. You are now in the
game! If you have played
Lotto Plus on your ticket (50c extr
a per panel), your numbers
will be entered into the two Lott
o Plus draws and “LOTTO
PLUS YES” will be printed under
the logo.
Before leaving the National Lott
ery Lotto Agent’s
premises check the numbers on
your ticket to ensure
they are the ones you have cho
sen. Your ticket is the only
valid receipt for claiming a prize
and will show the date(s)
of the draw(s) for which your ticke
t is valid. You can play the
same set of numbers every draw
if you wish by simply using
the same playslip which the Age
nt will return to you each
time you play. A game ticket is valid
for one Lotto draw (and
the two Lotto Plus draws for that
date where applicable)
except in the case of Advance Play
, whether or not the
Jackpot for that particular draw
is won or carried over. Tickets
bought up to approximately 10 min
utes before the draw time
will be included in that draw.
Lotto Advance Play
Advance Play is a facility which allow
s you to play up to 8
draws in advance. Simply tick the
appropriate Advance Play
box for 2, 4, or 8 draws. Your Adv
ance Play ticket will clearly
show the number of draws you are
in and it will also show the
inclusive set of dates that apply
to your ticket. The number of
draws will always include the next
Lotto draw (and Lotto Plus
draws where applicable). If you win
any prize in any one draw
you can claim it in the usual way
. On doing so you will be
issued with an exchange ticket to
cover the remaining draws
you have already paid for. Advance
Play is an easy way to play
Lotto and Lotto Plus and it ensures
your lucky numbers are
in the game if you are away or cann
ot play in any particular
draw or draws.
Lotto Prizes
Taking one draw with another, 52%
of Lotto sales are allocated as priz
es.
Each entry (each panel played) can
win only one prize in any one draw
and the highest prize will be paid
in each case.
