Wednesday Gold Lotto:
Wednesday Gold Lotto is a statewide lottery game played in Queensland, and administered by Golden Casket, the Queensland lotteries corporation.
For the most part, the game is the same as the Saturday draw: six winning numbers and two supplementary numbers drawn from 45, and the prize divisions are also the same five as used in Tattslotto. However, Wednesday Gold Lotto is marketed on its unusual First Division system: if one, two or three players win First Division, they win a minimum fixed $1 million prize - something that is not guaranteed on Saturday draws; if the prize pool is higher they share the total pool. If there are more than three winners of First Division, they instead share a $3 million pool. Games cost 50 cents plus agent's commission. Wednesday Gold Lotto is also the only Lotto game in Australia not to have jackpots. If first division is not won, the pool is not carried to the next week. Instead it gets used for the promotional series they have - triple dividends for Divisions 2-5, for example.
SA Lotto:
SA Lotto, previously known in the state as Cross Lotto or X Lotto, is a statewide lottery game played in South Australia, and administered by South Australian Lotteries, played twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Games of SA Lotto cost 30 cents plus agent's commission.
The draw format is the same as for the Saturday draw, with six winning numbers and two supplementary numbers drawn from 45. The divisions differ slightly from the Saturday Tattslotto draw however, in that the division where four winning numbers are won is split into two, creating a total of six divisions:
First Division (Jackpot, minimum $400,000) - match all six winning numbers
Second Division - match five winning numbers and either supplementary number
Third Division - match five winning numbers
Fourth Division - match four winning numbers and either supplementary number
Fifth Division - match four winning numbers
Sixth Division - match three winning numbers and either supplementary number
The First Division pool was last increased, from $300,000 to $400,000, in November 2003, at the same time as the re-introduction of a mid-week draw on Wednesdays, which had previously been replaced by Powerball [14].
Tatts Two:
Tatts Two is a Tattersalls product played only in its territories. It is one of the simplest games that can be played. A player selects 2 numbers from (1-99) in each game; which costs 55c. Each night at about 7:00 two numbers from (1-99) are drawn.
Those players matching either number win a fixed prize of $3. Those matching both numbers then share the remainder of the prize pool, with a minimum prize of $500. In some draws (usually once a week), both the 1 Number prize and the 2 Number minimum prize are doubled.
Cash 3:
Cash 3 is a lottery game played in Western Australia and administered by Lotterywest. The Cash 3 format is also used in several places in the United States. It is drawn every night of the year and the numbers telecast on Channel Seven in Perth, and on GWN in regional Western Australia.
Players select three digits, and may choose to bet on those three digits being drawn in any order, in that specific order, or both. Games can be played for either 50 cents or $1.00, and can be bought up to seven days in advance. Prizes are fixed according to the probability of winning, with the highest possible prize being $500 for a $1 wager.
