Australians like to buy lottery tickets very much, so the Australian lottery market is more standardized and humanized than the domestic. Australia has a lot of legal lottery types, today to briefly introduce the very popular lottery (Lotto) play.
Australia's lotto is divided into Monday lotto, Wednesday lotto and Saturday lotto, as the name implies, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, respectively (in fact, there is another called OZ Lotto, the rules are similar, we will introduce later).
The three lottery rules are basically the same, but the pools are independent. Play for players from 1 to 45, choose not to repeat the 6 numbers. The number was drawn from a bucket containing 45 balls numbered 1-45, while the opening number was 6 2, i.e .6 basic figures and 2 supplementary figures, if all 6 basic figures are first prize ,5 basic figures and 1 supplementary figure are second prize, and so on, see figure below.
Here are the differences between the next three types of lottery in the pool setting.

- Opening hours :20:45 every Saturday;

- If there is no first prize in a row, the pool will accumulate to a large number, almost all the Australian lottery will be crazy about it. As of early 2019, the historical lottery pool appeared on Saturday, December 30,2006, when the pool had reached A $33,000,000, and the huge pool attracted a large number of lottery buyers, with a total of 20 first prize winners in the current period, each winning a $1.65 million.
