Australian Superdraw – Oz Lotto
Oz Superdraw Jackpot AUS$ 24,000,000
Australian Superdaw – Overview... 
We have already looked at nearly all the major Australian Lottery games available to play – particularly those offered by NSW Lotteries and OzLotteries. Well – here’s the biggest of them all – the Australian Superdraw... The Australian Superdraw – or Lottery Superdraw – offers bigger jackpots to be won than all of the standard weekly Australian Lotto games including National games such as Oz Lotto and Powerball. The Australian Superdraw typically occurs 7 or 8 times per year – usually at special times in the Australian calendar such as Australian public holidays or around the Christmas and New Year time. Members of the Australian Lotto Bloc pool some of the revenue from their weekly Australian Lotto games, such as the Oz Lotto, Saturday Lotto, Powerball, etc., to fund these special lottery Superdraw games. Typical Australian Superdraw jackpot prizes range from AUS$20 Million to an amazing AUS$30 million Alongside the Australian Superdraw is another huge Australia Lottery offering – the Megadraw – which offers even bigger jackpots than the Superdraw. The Australian lotteries – Megadraw – takes place just once per year around the Christmas and New Year period and the same with any lottery – can and have been won by just 1 ticket holder who matches all of the winning lottery numbers. The Megadraw jackpots are usually around the AUS$30 Million mark and have even reached a staggering AUS$32 Million – what a fantastic start to the New Year it would be to have a big win on a game such as the Australian Lotto – Megadraw! The Australian Superdraw pays out the biggest jackpots and provides the best odds of winning the lottery than almost all lotto games in the Asia/Pacific region. The Superdraw offers better value for money too than the regular weekly Australian Lottery games such as the Wednesday Lotto, Powerball & Oz Lotto – this is due to the fact that the jackpots are that much higher but the odds of winning and the cost of entry are the same as the weekly equivalent – Saturday Lotto.

How It Works…
The Australian Superdaw – Lottery Superdraw - uses exactly the same matrix as the weekly Saturday Lotto – a 6/45 matrix – which means that when playing, you need to select 6 numbers from a pool of numbers from 1 to 45. If you match all 6 numbers drawn then you will be a Lottery Superdraw jackpot winner. After the 6 main numbers are drawn, 2 extra numbers – known as supplementary numbers – are then also drawn, increasing the number of ways in which you can win to 5 in total. These Supplementary numbers are applicable to prize levels 2 & 5. A “SlikPik” facility is available when playing NSW Lotteries games similar to the “Lucky Dip” or “Easy Pick” options that are used in the UK National Lottery, EuroMillions or most USA lotteries – which means that you can get the computer terminal to select all your Australian Superdraw numbers for you if you wish. So, playing the Australian Superdraw couldn’t be easier…just select your own 6 numbers or let the computer generate them automatically for you with a “SlikPik”.
