$2 Casket
Make yourself comfortable

A Casket ticket gives you and your family a great chance to make yourself comfortable with a First Prize of $100,000.

There is a maximum of 110,000 tickets sold in each $2 Casket draw. The winning ticket numbers are drawn on the date specified on your Casket ticket. Not all tickets have to be sold in a draw. The number of tickets sold will vary dependent upon the draw closure date.

2,363 ticket numbers are drawn at random, one after another. These numbers (in drawn order) win prizes from the First Prize of $100,000 down to $5.

But there are still 4,726 more prizes to be won! Every ticket holder who has a ticket number that is closest to any of the winning numbers drawn, will receive a consolation prize. The closest ticket number sold may not be the next consecutive ticket number. As consolation prizes are not published, to find out if you have won a consolation prize, take your receipt to your Golden Casket shop to have it checked.

That means a total of 7,089 tickets win in every $2 Casket draw.

What can you win with $2 Casket

How to buy a Casket ticket
There are three easy ways to buy a Casket ticket (subject to availability):

1. Ask your Agent for any number/s you like between 1 and 110,000 or let the computer pick the number/s for you; or
2. Pick any sequence of numbers yourself (up to 2,000 numbers) eg. 1001 through to 3000; or
3. Ask your Agent for a random sequence of numbers (up to 25 numbers at a time and up to 5 separate random sequences) eg. 26 through to 50.

You can even ask for an Advanced Entry so you can keep the same numbers for the next draw (Advanced Entries are only available for the very next draw).

Receipts
Your Casket ticket number/s are issued on a receipt. Make sure you check your receipt to ensure the details are correct. To claim a prize and to find out if you have won a consolation prize take your receipt to your Golden Casket shop to have it checked.

Fixed draw dates
Draw dates are fixed and will appear on your receipt so you know exactly when to check to see if you have won a prize.

Casket is the perfect gift
When you choose a Casket ticket as a gift, you can arrange to have a special message printed on your receipt. There's a big range to choose from so just ask your Agent for any of the following messages:

Happy Birthday, Thank you!, It's a bet!, Best Wishes, Get Well Soon, Congratulations!, Good Luck! and Happy Anniversary.

And there are special seasonal messages as well: Happy Mother's Day,
Happy Father's Day, Happy Easter, Lucky Black Friday, Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year, Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Winners Circle card. The way to play.
You can register your Casket ticket on your Winners Circle card – the same card you use to register your Gold Lotto, Oz 7 Lotto, Powerball or The Pools entries. As a Winners Circle card holder, make sure you use your card every time you play so we can notify you if you have a win.

If you use your card and forget to claim your prize, we'll send you a prize cheque 4 weeks after the draw. But be careful with your receipt, because if you lose it, someone else can use it to claim your prize^. If you lose your receipt, call us immediately on 131 868, so we can place a 'Stop Payment' on your entry.

If you do not already have a Winners Circle card simply apply on-line today, call us on 131 868, or ask your Golden Casket Agent for an Application Form. Once you receive your card just take it into your Golden Casket Agent and activate it by paying the $5 (including GST) annual administration fee.

^ Membership Terms apply.

How do I check the results?
Just phone our Results Hotline on 1902 220 321* (current and historical draws). Ask your Agent to check your receipt or pick up a Casket Results flyer in-store. You can even check your local media - many newspapers choose to publish the results. Visit the Casket section of our website. However as there are many consolation prizes to be won you will need to ask your Agent to check your receipt for you.

* Calls cost 83c/minute (inc. GST). May be higher from mobile phones/payphone. Dialect Solutions.

The Pools
Pick 6 from 38 and win!

The Pools is based on selected soccer matches from the Australian League during the domestic (Southern Hemisphere) season and matches from Europe and the UK during the international (Northern Hemisphere) season.

The Pools winning numbers are determined by the results of weekend soccer fixtures. Each week the match list contains 38 matches plus reserve matches. These 38 matches are selected by number and the 6 winning numbers are those matches that result in the highest score-draws (ie. where both teams have the same scored result). The seventh highest score-draw denotes the supplementary number. For selected matches, refer to the current match list.

1. Simply cross (x) off 6 from 38 numbers in each game panel (minimum of 2 panels).
2. Play 'your favourite numbers' as recorded on your Golden Casket Winners Circle card.
3. Ask for a 'Quickpick' entry and have your numbers randomly selected for you. You have a choice between a Quickpick (12 games), a Super Quickpick (18 games), a Mega Quickpick (24 games), or a Jumbo Quickpick (36 games).
4. With a 'System' entry you select 7 or more numbers in a single game panel, which gives you the chance to win more.
5. A 'With the Field' entry allows you to choose 4 or 5 numbers from 38 (depending on the option your choose) giving you more chances to win.

How much does it cost?
You can play a minimum of 2 games of The Pools for only $1.10 (includes Agent's commission). You can play an even number of game panels (up to 12) on the one coupon. The more games you play, the more chances you have of winning a prize. Refer to our price list for further information.

Golden Casket recommends that you always check your receipts.

How The Pools works
With The Pools, you have to pick 6 numbers out of 38 to win.

The winning numbers are determined by the results of soccer matches in Europe, including fixtures from Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands and the UK or Australia (depending on the season). 38 matches are selected by number each week, and the 6 winning numbers are those games with the highest score-draws. The seventh highest score-draw denotes the supplementary match number. And because The Pools jackpots each week if it's not won - and it often does jackpot - there's a good reason to play The Pools.

Entries Deadline
You can enter The Pools as late as 7pm Saturday anywhere in Queensland (6 pm during Daylight Savings or 2pm during the Australian Soccer season). Closing times do vary seasonally and it is advisable to consult your local Golden Casket Agent for all the details.

How do I know if I have won?
The Pools prize divisions are as follows.

Division	What you need in one game to win
1*	All 6 winning numbers
2	5 of the 6 winning numbers plus the supplementary number
3	5 of the 6 winning numbers
4	4 of the 6 winning numbers
5	3 of the 6 winning numbers plus the supplementary number

Ways to Play

Quickpick, Super Quickpick, Mega Quickpick and Jumbo Quickpick
Quickpicks are a quick and easy way to play Gold Lotto. Your numbers are randomly selected by the Golden Casket Agent's Lotto terminal. A standard Quickpick gives you 12 games. If you want to play 18 games, ask for a Super Quickpick. For 24 games, ask for a Mega Quickpick and for 36 games simply ask for a Jumbo Quickpick.

Marked coupon
You can choose your own 6 numbers for each game panel from numbers one to 38. Many players like to play their own special numbers every week, by marking game panels on the coupon.

Systems entries
System Entries give you the chance to win more. With a System Entry for The Pools, you select 7 or more numbers in a single game panel. For example, if you play a Pools System 10 game and match 4 numbers and a supplementary, you win 15 times the Division 4 dividend plus 40 times the Division 5 dividend.

The type of System Entry relates to how many numbers are selected in one game panel. So a System 8 means you select 8 numbers from 38, and a System 17 means you select 17 numbers from 38. You can choose from 7-20 numbers in one game.

To play a System Entry, cross (x) your selected numbers in the one game panel, then place a cross (x) in the system box in that game panel.

For all Lotto games, you can play anything from one System game on a coupon up to the following.

* For a System 7 Quickpick, a minimum of 2 game panels is required.

With the Field
'With the Field' allows you to play less than the normal six numbers required in a game. You can choose 4 or 5 numbers from 38. You are guaranteed the remaining 1 or 2 winning numbers (depending on which 'With the Field' entry you choose), giving you more chances to win. Of the 6 winning numbers drawn, you only need 4 or 5, depending on the option you choose.

If, for example, you choose to play 5 'With the Field' entry then you would only choose 5 numbers from 38. These would then be combined with all of the other 33 remaining numbers giving you the equivalent of 33 single standard games.

Multiweek entries
The Multiweek option is extremely useful when going on holidays or if you don't visit your Golden Casket Agent very often. You can play the same set of numbers in either 5 or 10 consecutive weeks of the draws. Multiweek Entries are not available for Systems 16 to 20.

Simply cross the relevant 5 or 10 week box in the Multiweek section on your Pools coupon, or ask your Golden Casket Agent when entering with a Quickpick or playing with your favourite recorded numbers.
