Launched in 1994, Retro-lottery was Australia’s first nationwide lottery. Known for offering large prize pools, it's still a favourite among Aussies. One of the biggest jackpots ever was $100 million back in December 2013, when around a third of Australian adults joined in.
This game uses a single barrel containing 47 balls numbered 1 to 47. Each draw selects 10 balls — the first 7 are the main winning numbers, while the last 3 are supplementary numbers used for determining extra prize divisions.
To win Division 1, match all 7 main numbers in a single game. Prizes are based on the highest winning division per game line, as detailed below.
| Division | Match | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Division 1 | 7 main numbers | 1 in 62,891,499 |
| Division 2 | 6 main + 1 supplementary | 1 in 2,994,834 |
| Division 3 | 6 main numbers | 1 in 242,825 |
| Division 4 | 5 main + 1 supplementary | 1 in 26,271 |
| Division 5 | 5 main numbers | 1 in 4,497 |
| Division 6 | 4 main numbers | 1 in 182 |
| Division 7 | 3 main + 1 supplementary | 1 in 71 |
