Title: OZ LOTTO IS CHANGING


Exciting new changes will be made to Australia’s Oz Lotto to ensure the game remains attractive to the thousands of players who hope for their lucky numbers to be drawn each Tuesday evening.

As Oz Lotto is administered jointly with other Australian lotteries jurisdictions, the changes will become effective Australia-wide from Wednesday, 12 October 2005 with the first draw #609 occurring on Tuesday 18 October.

Changes to the national game apply to key game elements, such as the game matrix, prize divisions and jackpot sequence.

The principal changes include:

· 7 balls to be drawn from 45 (instead of the current 6).

· 7 prize divisions to be offered (instead of the current 5).

· A new jackpot sequence will be introduced, with the game expected to jackpot to $10 million approximately twenty times each year.

Importantly, entry prices for tickets into the exciting new-look game will remain the same at $1 per game.

As the changes have been implemented in response to marketing research, it is expected that the new and improved Oz Lotto game will be popular among players.

im not too sure who the market research asked, i dont know anyone who was asked about what we want in a lotto game.

but going from 1 in 8 million to 1 in 45 million, im pretty disapointed.

what im gonna play in new game

well i dont like the new odds, more chance of winning bigger jackpots they say!
going form 1 in 8 mill to 1 in 45, they got the bigger jackpots right.
well i run 3 syndicates and after asking what people want to do , we are still playing the game.

the top 3 guesses are the 3 syndicates, and the lower numbers, [ open to change at my whim ] are what ill be playing when the pot jackpots to say 30 million.
i can just jumble up the lower numbers, trick isnt to get every number in my wheel, %100. chance there. but to get every one of them on the same line. :(
