  • Super Lotto Plus

    Lotto style game played in California every Wednesday and Saturday. Five main winning numbers are selected from a set of 47 rubber balls, as is a so called mega number which is chosen from a separate set of 27 rubber balls. California has historically offered a number of Lotto style games, beginning with a so-called 6-49 game in 1986, which was changed at various times to a 53 number game (in 1990) which included a seventh bonus number, then to a 51 number game which lasted until sometime in the year 2000.The current 47/27 variant began in the year 2000 and continues to this day under the name Super Lotto Plus.On February 16, 2002, the California Lottery's highest payout of 193 million dollars was won by 3 winning tickets. Lotto Links you know a lot of lotto sites in the Internet, but this one is very interesting.

  • Australian Lottery

    Three separate numbers were drawn, named after the number of digits in each winning number: Lucky 7 (with numbers ranging from 1000000-1999999), Lucky 6 (100000-449999) and Lucky 3 (000-999). Prizes were awarded in a similar manner to Super 66, with a $1 million prize offered for matching the Lucky 7 number exactly, while consolation prizes were awarded for matching the last digits of the other numbers - as few as three digits for the Lucky 6, or two digits for the Lucky 3 number.Casket (or the $2 Casket) is the name given to the draw lottery administered by Queensland's lottery operator, Golden Casket. The name of the game dates back to the first Queensland draw lotteries - with cash prizes originally prohibited by law, the first prize was awarded as a casket of gold valued at a certain amount, which was then immediately bought back from winners for its cash value .

    Draws usually take place every six weeks approximately (the draw dates of which are fixed in advance), and a maximum of 110,000 tickets (at $2 each) are sold for each draw. Specific numbers can be selected by the player when buying a Casket ticket (as long as the number has not already been selected), or otherwise automatically allocated through a Quick Pick.Each draw has a first prize of $100,000, and consolation prizes are drawn to as low as $5. There is no jackpot component. One-off prizes are also drawn, although unlike New South Wales these are paid in cash, with the most common prize being $2 for being one-off any the numbers outside the first three prizes. There are 7,089 prizes awarded in each $2 Casket draw (including one-off prizes), making the odds of winning any prize around 1 in 15.5.Most Australian lottery companies offer "Scratchies" or instants which can be purchased at outlets. Player scratch and try to match numbers, complete puzzles or reveal codes to obtain a prize. Instants come in many varieties, usually at $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 and $10 prize levels. Although games are often shared between lottery companies, scratchies purchased in one Australian state are not often exchangeable in another.
