Default 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.

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.

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.

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.

Lotto odds are generally very poor.

I stick to my tried and tested bookie basher football system

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