How are my winning numbers selected on THU Jackpot?
Firstly, here are three important definitions:
Result ID: A 10 digit number formed from taking the first 2 decimals of selected Financial Indices (example below).
Mapping: The process of matching the Result ID to the appropriate set Winning Numbers.
Winning Numbers: The numbers you’re required to match in order to win.
How Are the Results Generated?
Lottoland determine our results by taking the first 2 decimal places of certain indices to create a 10-digit number, a ‘Result ID’. See the working example below for which Financial Markets are used.
This Result ID has been pre-assigned to a set of numbers on which customers can bet on.
The first Result ID (0000000000) receives a set of numbers, the next Result ID (0000000001) receives the next set of numbers.
For example, in the THU Jackpot;
Result ID 0000000000 is assigned the winning numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and Super Number 1
Result ID 0000000001 is assigned the winning numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and Super Number 2
This continues until all the possible Result IDs have been filled out.
Working Example
1. In the THU Jackpot bet slip you will be asked to select 7 numbers between 1 – 35 Example: 7, 10, 15, 20, 22, 29, 31 + 1 (Super Number)
2. Each Thursday at 9.30am ET a Result ID is derived from the opening values of the following Financial Market indices
Values Sourced: Bloomberg.com
3. The winning Result ID in this example is: 3197364900
4. The Result ID is then mapped to an appropriate Winning Number, in this instance the winning combination is: 7, 8, 12, 14, 20, 21, 31 + Super Number 1
So in this example the winning numbers are: 7, 8, 12, 14, 20, 21, 31 + Super Number 1
Versus the bet of: 7, 10, 15, 20, 22, 29, 31 + 1
Total payout: $15 (Division 8)

How Can I Check the Result ID is Correct?
For transparency, if someone would like to know what set of numbers a certain Result ID is assigned to they can:
1. Go to the selected Jackpot
2. Click on the Results tab
3. Click on "See details on how the results are generated"
4. Enter any 10-digit Result ID. The mapping tool will then display the set of numbers this Result ID is assigned to.
Do I have to share the Jackpot?
Don't want to share the jackpot with other winners? Our special NumberShield feature allows you to protect your numbers in the event of a jackpot win. If you activate this feature you will win the entire jackpot in division 1, even if other players chose the same numbers.
