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'. Click here to download our How-2-Play Lotto Complete Guide for more information on playing your favourite lotto games.

Golden Casket recommends that you always check your tickets. How does the draw work? 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. How do I know if I have won? 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. 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 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. Twinpick A Twinpick is where you play the same set of numbers in the next 2 consecutive Gold Lotto draws - one Saturday and one Wednesday. Marked coupon 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 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. Form a syndicate 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 '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. Multi-week Entries 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. Advance entries 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. Record your favourite numbers 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.
