Tips & Responsible Play

The randomness of lotto draws does not affect your ability to play responsibly through budget setting and affordable play. Never chase your losses and always keep your spending below what you can handle. Joining a syndicate with friends or coworkers allows you to boost your chances while staying within your budget limits. You should monitor your tickets and check results right away because Division 1 prizes exceeding AUD 1 000 000 need direct claim at a lottery office.
