Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Back in Uk, it was just so simple, one box & 6 number, if you got 3 right you get £10 & so on.
Here what is all these 4 boxes then you have to pick 6 numbers out of it, how do you check it against the 6 number they call out on Saturday, does 6 number comes out of one box, I really dont get it.:(
Also there are so many of them anybody out there can help me how it works.:confused:

No idea. I just ask for $10 worth of lucky dips and have 'em check it with the barcode in the shop a week later. :D

Me too!

Too thick to understand 'the system'.

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

I own a newsagency with Lotto on the Gold Coast! In Qld there are 4 weekly draws Tues, Weds, Thrs, & Sat. Saturday Gold Lotto tonight is a 'superdraw' (19 million) its the easiest game to play pick any 6 numbers (minimum 4 games). most people do 'quickpicks' where numbers are randomly generated these are $6.60, $9.90, or $13.20. then there are systems where you get more than 6 numbers per game which are priced at $3.90 - $20,0000.00.
We do a lot of syndicates whicn involve shares being sold in larger tickets with winnings (if any) being shared per share.

The other days games are Oz 7 lotto (Tues) - 7 numbers to pick much harder game to win and twice as expensive as Gold Lotto, Gold Lotto (Qld only) Weds - same as sat game, & Powerball (Thrs) - its a record jackpot this week $50 million.

Take a look at the websites, I think that there is one for each state. This is WA's - lotterywest.
Some of the games are National and some are specific to the state you live in. Hope this helps. :thumbup:

Odds are still pretty long, though I still dream and pay my weekly contribution.

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Lotto odds are generally very poor.

I stick to my tried and tested bookie basher football system :thumbup:

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Do the profits here go to good causes or fat cats?

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

nope ... still dont understand :confused:

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

It works like this. You go into a newsagent wanting to buy a newspapaer and a soft drink. You wait 5 minutes while the clueless arsehole in front of you tries to figure out if he wants a golden 5 or a lucky 10 or a treasure chest 12 and how much it costs and arrghhhhh:curse:

So you put your newspaper and soft drink back and walk out.

And you swear you'll never play the lotto.

I avoid newsagents that have all the lotto machines and scratches, cos they take forever to get served.

I still dont get it, I think a trip down to carberry shop seems more likely now.;)

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Now that was such useful tip, & I'm still no wiser. :(

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

'tis a bit far for me to travel to pick up my lotto tickets :lol:

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Next saturday I'll go up to see the man & I'll let you know. :thumbsup:

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Yeah, well, then you'll be like all the other clueless people I get stuck behind in Newsagents:p

Just go in to your local newsagent, preferably when there is only one person serving, and have a 10 minute discussion with them about all the various lottos and scratchies available.

If you find the queue behind you hasn't grown long enough, you can then ask to sign up to one of the Lotto loyalty card schemes, which in themselves also seem designed to slow down every transaction. Make sure you get the details of the benefits of each and every card.

Once you have all the details, don't buy anything, just leave, and have a think about it. If still unsure, repeat the above.

Hope thats enough detail;)

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

I thought I should find out where your local news agent is & go ask how it works, just before you go in & get your paper. :rofl: :p

Carberry has been kind enough, he is going to show me how it works, so hopefully I would win the Jackpot once I know what to do. :p

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

I was listening to a radio show a couple of weeks ago, where they had one of the Lotto marketing guys on. And they got him to admit that you had more chance of dying in a car crash driving 5 minutes to your local newsagents to buy a ticket, than actually winning the Lotto.

On the other hand, if you turn up with 10 tickets you know haven't won, and present them anyway to the newsagent to check them, and then ask for another 10 tickets, and then present your 'Lotto loyalty card' or whatever that card is they all use, you are 100% certain to piss off everyone behind you who just wants to buy a pint on milk or a newspaper.

Still no harm delaying people for 2 minutes while you play a pointless game is there? :curse:

Well except the problem is a couple of hundred thousand people play it, and delay probably 1 million people queueing behind them, and they just want a quick transaction at the newsagent instead of being stuck behind someone trying to work out which lotto to lose their money on, so thats 2 million minutes of wasted time.

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Around where I live, most of the newsagents and Deli's that operate a Lotto counter, have them separate from the routine business they provide. So really the only hassle with someone unable to decide which scratchie to get, only prevents other scratchie or lotto ticket buyers a problem.

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

You really do hate these people dont you, you need to just chill out, it wont be so bad, you might enjoy queuing up behind these lottery buyers. :p

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

Nope, here there is one person serving in a newsagent and 100,000 clueless lotto players.

Re: Aussie Lotto, how does it work?
 

The only part I enjoy is knowing that they are wasting $10, or $20 or even $50 a week.

But then again, these are probably the same idiots who will retire penniless and expect the state to provide for them, cos they never won the lotto.
