There is just over one week left to buy your tickets for a supersized
Australian MegaDraw lottery on Dec 31, which could end 2011 with a bang for one
lucky lotto fan as its estimated jackpot is a cool $31 million.
Next weekend's Saturday Lotto Megadraw boasts a Division One prize of a
guaranteed $31 million which could be the perfect start to the new year for a
lucky player or players.
Players have until 5 pm on Saturday December 31st to buy their tickets for
the $31 million lottery megadraw and put themselves in line to win this
massive jackpot.
The Megadraw will be played the same way as all Saturday Lotto games are
played.
- Eight balls need to be chose from a total of forty five.
- The first six numbers drawn each week are known as the winning numbers.
- The last two numbers draw are known as the supplementary numbers.
- Players need to buy at least four games into the Saturday Lotto to enter
the jackpot.
All in all, there are six prize divisions in the Saturday Lotto, with the
more winning numbers drawn, the bigger the prize for the player.
This Saturday Lotto Megadraw on December 31st, will carry a $31 million
jackpot.
Odds of Winning Saturday Lotto Megadraw Prize
To win a division one prize in the Saturday Lotto Megadraw, or
any Saturday Lotto draw for that matter, players need to achieve six winning
numbers, with odds to do so at one in 8,145,060.
To win a second division prize, players need to achieve five
winning numbers and one supplementary number, with odds listed as one in
678,755.
Winning a third division prize would require players to line up
five winning numbers, with odds at doing so one in 36,690.
A fourth division prize requires four winning numbers, with odds
of one in 733, while a fifth division prize, with odds of one in under 300,
requires that players land three winning numbers and one supplementary number.
A sixth division prize, where players are required to land one
or two winning numbers and two supplementary numbers, carries odds of 1 in 144.
Four Saturday Lotto games cost $2.60, while five games cost
$3.25. A bulk purchase of 10 games will set the player back $6.55, while fifty
games cost $32.70.
Considering the massive sums of money up for grabs each week,
including this week's Saturday Lotto draw with an estimated jackpot of $4
million, the cost of a ticket seems a small price to pay.
