Systems & Super Combos
The benefit of playing a System is that your entry is equivalent to playing every possible combination of 6 numbers. For example, if you are playing a System 8, your entry is equivalent to all 28 possible combinations of 6 numbers from your 8 selections.
Syndicates
If the syndicate ticket wins a prize, the total winnings will be divided equally among all of the members of the group.
Oz Lotteries offers two types of Syndicates Play Methods:
Oz Lotteries Syndicates (Default)
Oz Lotteries is the organiser and ensures that when all shares are sold a new syndicate is created for additional interested participants.
This is a great option for people who wish to join a syndicate without the hassle of organising and/or inviting friends.
Social Syndicates
If all shares aren't sold within 12 hours of draw time the outstanding shares are made available for the public to buy (to give the syndicate its best chance of selling all shares).
Social Syndicates offers organisers the ability to invite friends via Email, Hyperlink or Facebook as well as a handy tool to monitor who has bought each share and send additional invites.

Reward Points / Loyalty Program
Does OzLotteries have a loyalty / rewards program?
How many Lotto Points do I earn and what are they worth?
One (1) Lotto Point can be redeemed for $0.01 worth of lottery entries on OzLotteries.com. Points can not be redeemed for cash.
For example, 50 Lotto Points are worth $0.50.
Automatically - Choose to have your points count towards a discount on entries when you have enough points. This means when you have a preset minimum, eg. 50 points, that 50 points is applied as a discount to your next order, so $0.50 is removed from the purchase total. If you make a purchase and your points balance is not at that minimum level, no points are redeemed.
Manually - Choose to redeem as many points as you like when you are making a purchase. Eg. if you have 250 points, you can choose to redeem any amount of points up to 250 points to count as a discount on your purchase.
Using the manual option you can make a purchase using just Lotto Points; simply add products to your basket that are equal to less than the total value of your points balance, and you can use your Lotto Points to complete the entire purchase.
However please note, if you are not subscribed to receive either promotional or results emails from OzLotteries.com you will not be eligible to earn Lotto Points until such time as you subscribe. Unsubscribing will not affect your ability to redeem existing Lotto Points you have earned to date.
Can I redeem Lotto Points for cash?
How do I check how many points I have?
1. On the Overview page in your Oz Lotteries account, your Lotto Points balance is displayed in the 'Account Details' box.
2. On the Lotto Points page in your Oz Lotteries account you can view your Lotto Points balance as well as a history of your Lotto Points transactions.
What happened to Jumbo Rewards?
We have now launched our own loyalty program called Lotto Points, so you can still earn reward points on all lottery ticket purchases and redeem them for lotto tickets. Lotto Points is even easier than Jumbo Rewards, as it's fully integrated with your Oz Lotteries account. We hope you like it!
