Due to legislation coming into effect in 2019, we can no longer offer lottery betting and as such some content may no longer be relevant.

High odds = high jackpots and the Oz Lotto holds the record for Australia’s highest jackpot!

6. What Are the Odds of Winning Oz Lotto compared to International Lotteries?

The great thing about Lottoland is the diverse choice you have. It all depends on which lottery you choose!

For example;
The odds of winning the Oz Lotto are 1: 45,379,620.
