HOW TO PLAY

The average jackpot is $10,000,000.000 US Dollars and is frequently worth in excess of $15,000,000.00 US Dollars. It can rise to $65,000,000.00 US Dollars and more! The draw takes place every Wednesday and Saturday evening on national television (BBC)

The jackpot prize is won by matching the first six numbers drawn (1 to 49).

A seventh number is also drawn and is called the 'bonus' number.

Prizes can also be won by matching five numbers, five numbers plus the bonus number, four numbers or three numbers.

Although people tend to pick their own lucky numbers, a 'quick pick' option is available which instructs the Lotto computer to select the entry numbers at random.

Prizes are tax-free and are paid out in one lump sum.
