History
Oz Lotto was first introduced in 1994 and was drawn on a different day back then. Originally it was played the same as Saturday Lotto where you chose six numbers out of 45, however all that changed on October 18, 2005 when a seventh number was added to the draw, increasing the odds of winning Division 1 as an individual rather than sharing it with other players as was often the case when only (6) numbers were required. As a result, the Oz Lotto brand and marketing heavily emphasised the seventh number. For instance, Tattersalls has Super 7 and Golden Casket has Oz 7. Whilst Oz Lotto requires seven numbers to be chosen, its minimum prize level remains at three winning numbers and either of the (2) supplementary numbers.
Fun Fact
The biggest Oz Lotto jackpot prize ever won in Australia, was AUD$107 million in January 2019, when a Sydney nurse picked the right numbers to be the sole winner of the huge first division prize pool. Since then. Oz Lotto has jackpotted to over AUD$100 million on many occasions.
