Twice-weekly draws with solid prizes and the same 6-from-45 format as Saturday Lotto
Monday and Wednesday Lotto is essentially the mid-week cousin of Saturday Lotto. The format is identical — 6 numbers from 45, with 2 supplementary balls — but the prize pools tend to be smaller. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Smaller pools mean fewer players chasing them, so the odds of being a sole Division 1 winner can actually be better on a per-draw basis.
The game is popular with regular players who like having multiple draws each week without the higher ticket costs of games like Powerball or Oz Lotto. It's a low-key option that flies a bit under the radar compared to its flashier siblings.
Select 6 numbers from 1 to 45 per game. In the draw, 6 winning numbers and 2 supplementary numbers are selected from a single barrel. Match all 6 main numbers for Division 1.
Entry options mirror Saturday Lotto:
Ticket prices are comparable to Saturday Lotto. A single game runs about $0.75–$0.85 depending on which state or territory you're in.

The game has 6 divisions, identical in structure to Saturday Lotto. The mathematical odds are the same — 1 in 8,145,060 for Division 1. Prize amounts tend to be smaller because the total pool is lower.

Division 1 typically sits around $1 million for Monday and Wednesday draws. Not life-changing in the same way as Powerball, but a million dollars is still a million dollars. It goes a fair way.
A few reasons this game has its fans:
Monday and Wednesday Lotto are treated as separate draws. A ticket for Monday doesn't carry over to Wednesday — you need a separate entry for each. The branding varies by state: in Queensland it's "Gold Lotto," in Victoria it's "Lotto," and so on. Same game, different label.
Results are published after each draw on The Lott's website and at retail outlets. Many players set up online accounts that check results automatically and credit prizes directly — saves the hassle of checking tickets in person.
