How to Play the Australian Tatts Lotto

The Saturday lottery in Australia is just one of the many lotteries known as Tatts Lotto. The lotto was first held in 1972 and since then it has been broadcast every Saturday. The Jackpot starts at $ 4 million AUD. There are also Superdraws that can bring more than $ 20 million.

How to Play Tatts Lotto

To play Saturday Lotto, players need to choose six winning numbers out of 45. However, not just six, but nine numbers define winners. Two of them are defined additionally during the draw and normally users don’t pick them. During the draw, you win the main prize if you match all 6 numbers out of 45. You can also win a prize if you match as little as 1 or 2 main numbers and 2 additional ones.
