Saturday Lotto (X Lotto) will be going through some exciting changes from Saturday 10th October 2020 (Draw 4093).
To help you understand how these changes will impact you and the way you play Saturday Lotto we have put this overview together.
What's New?
Increased Division Prize Pool to $5,000,000
To ensure this game continues to create the most millionaires the prize pool will be increasing from $4 million to the new estimated division 1 prize pool of $5 million!
Improved chance of winning any prize
The chance of winning any prize has been boosted from 1 in 85 chance of winning to 1 in 42! This improvement comes due to the change to division 6 winning combination to 3 winning numbers instead of 1-2 winning numbers and both supplementary numbers.
This has improved the odds of winning Division 6 from 1 in 144 to 1 in 52.
