How do System tickets work?

What is a System ticket?

A System ticket allows you to play more numbers than a standard ticket. The system covers every possible number combination of your chosen numbers automatically.

Please note: your ticket or receipt email only shows one line with your selected System numbers, not the full list of games this generates. This keeps your ticket simple, you're still covered for every possible combination of those numbers.

How many numbers can I choose for a System ticket?

You can choose between 7 and 18 numbers, depending on the game. The System size you choose is named after how many numbers you select, for example, a System 10 means you select 10 numbers, and a System 17 means you select 17 numbers.

The System ticket sizes available depends on the game:

1. Powerball: System 8 to System 17. PowerHit System tickets for Powerball range from System 8 to System 12.
2. Oz Lotto: System 8 to System 15.
3. Saturday Lotto: System 7 to System 18.
4. Weekday Windfall: System 7 to System 18.

This video from Oz Lotteries describes how System tickets work.

How does a System ticket work? (example)

A Standard ticket uses your 7 chosen numbers as one game, for example: 31, 15, 28, 35, 10, 41, 32.

A System 8 ticket uses 8 chosen numbers and automatically creates every possible 7-number combination from them, 8 separate games from one ticket. For example, if you choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, your System 8 ticket creates these 8 games:

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8
• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
• 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8
• 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
• 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
• 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

If the winning combination appears in one of your 8 games, that game wins a prize, and your other games may also win separate prizes, often in different divisions, depending on how many numbers they match.

How does a System ticket work with Powerball?

For Powerball, a System ticket only applies to your main numbers, you can't choose extra Powerball numbers, only extra main numbers.

You can combine a System ticket with a PowerHit ticket (which guarantees the winning Powerball number) for more chances to win. This combination is called a PowerHit System ticket, and you can find it under the PowerHit tab.
