Gold Lotto offers you the chance to make
your million dollar dreams come true every Saturday and Wednesday.
The aim of Gold Lotto is to match as many winning numbers drawn
from the barrel as possible with the numbers in a single game on your ticket.

When choosing your Gold Lotto numbers on Saturday or
Wednesday, you have 5 options.
- Simply cross off 6 from 45 numbers in each game panel.
- Play 'your
favourite numbers' as recorded on your Golden Casket Winners Circle card.
- Play a 'Quickpick'
entry where your numbers are 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).
- With a 'System' entry you select 7 or more numbers in a single game panel, which gives you the chance to win more.
- A 'With the Field' entry allows you to choose 4 or 5 numbers from 45 (depending on the option your choose) giving you more chances to win.
When lodging your marked coupon, you have the
option to play your numbers in the Saturday draw, the Wednesday
draw, or in both draws. If you simply cross both boxes on your coupon - this is known as a 'Twinpick'.

Golden Casket recommends that you always check your tickets.

Gold Lotto is drawn Saturday and Wednesday nights
at approximately 8:45pm on Channel Seven in Queensland, and affiliated regional
stations (check your local TV guide). Gold Lotto involves drawing
6 winning numbers and 2 supplementary numbers from a total
of 45 balls.
To win a prize you need to match at least 3 of the
winning numbers plus either supplementary number in one
game. Every Saturday and Wednesday night, Gold
Lotto offers 5 prize divisions for winners to share
in, which are as follows.
| Division |
What you need in one game to
win |
| 1* |
6 winning numbers |
| 2 |
5 winning numbers
plus 1 supplementary |
| 3 |
5 winning numbers |
| 4 |
4 winning numbers |
| 5 |
3 winning numbers
plus 1 supplementary |
*All first division dividends are provisional for 2 weeks following a draw.
A standard entry in a drawing of Gold Lotto cannot win a prize in more than one division.
Quickpicks are a quick and easy way to
play Gold Lotto. Your numbers are randomly selected by the Golden
Casket Outlet'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.
A Twinpick is where you play the same set of
numbers in the next 2 consecutive Gold Lotto draws - one
Saturday and one Wednesday.
You can choose your numbers for each
game panel from numbers one to 45. Many players like to play
their own special numbers, by completing game panels on the
ticket.
System Entries give you the chance to win more. With a System Entry for Gold Lotto, you select 7 or more numbers in a single game panel. For
example, if you play a Gold Lotto 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 45, and a System 17 means
you select 17 numbers from 45. 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.
| System type |
Maximum games per coupon |
| System 7* to System
13 |
12 |
| System 14 to System
20 |
4 |
* For a System 7
Quickpick, a minimum of 2 game panels is required.
Syndicates
are formed by groups of people who pool funds to purchase entries. For further details on forming or
joining a syndicate, ask for a Syndicate Kit at your nearest
Golden Casket Outlet or visit the Syndicate page in this site for Syndicate resources, including a handy Online Syndicate Planner to make organising a Syndicate easy.
'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 45. 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 45. These would then be combined with all of the other
40 remaining numbers giving you the equivalent of 40 single
standard games.
The Multi-week option is extremely
useful when going on holidays or if you don't visit your local Golden
Casket Outlet very often. You can play the same set of numbers
in either 5 or 10 consecutive weeks of the draws. Multi-week
Entries are not available for Systems 16 to 20.
Simply cross the relevant 5 or 10 week
box in the Multi-week section on your Gold Lotto coupon, or
ask your Golden Casket retailer when entering with a Quickpick
or playing with your favourite recorded numbers.
If there is a Gold Lotto draw
you don't want to miss you might like to ask for an Advance Entry. You can
nominate which future draw you wish to enter up to 10 weeks
in advance.
It's easy to play Gold
Lotto using your favourite numbers. Simply mark a coupon
with your chosen numbers, hand this coupon to your Golden
Casket retailer along with your Golden Casket Winners Circle card and ask them to record these numbers onto your
card. Next time you want to play, just hand the retailer your
card and ask to play your recorded games.
