Lucky Lotteries are run by New South Wales Lotteries – NSW Lotteries – and there are 2 games on offer in this particular NSW Lotto category… • The Lucky Lotteries – $2 Jackpot Lottery • The Lucky Lotteries – $5 Jackpot Lottery Here we will be looking at the $2 Jackpot Lottery… Each game has a set number of tickets available and when these have all been sold, the draw can take place. Unlike most lotteries, when you win the lottery, you don’t have the possibility of having to share the prize – including the Jackpot – as each ticket has its own individual number and individual ticket numbers win individual prizes. Jackpots for the Lucky Lotteries – $2 Jackpot Lottery start out at AUS $500,000 and grow by way of a rollover until they are won – these can easily reach a figure of many millions of dollars making for some exciting jackpots to be won. There are 11 x $2 Jackpot Lottery draws on sale at any one time – the current lottery draw plus 10 future draws that will be made (“forward” draws). Once a $2 Jackpot Lottery has been fully subscribed – ie. sold out – the draw will happen and fully subscribed lotteries will be drawn in order – ie. the lottery with the lowest identifying number will be drawn first.
How It Works… 
The Lucky Lotteries – $2 Jackpot Lottery – differs somewhat from traditional draw type lottery games. It’s fun to play – is packed full of prizes and works like this… Firstly, there is a set number of tickets available for each draw – 225,000 tickets in total. For each game, the $2 Jackpot Lottery has its own unique 4 digit sequential number to identify the particular draw that you are playing in. When the draw takes place, a “Jackpot” ticket number is drawn from the full set of ticket numbers in the game. If that ticket number has already won a cash prize in the draw, then it also wins the “Jackpot”. If the ticket number hasn’t won a cash prize already, then the jackpot increases each draw until it is won, like a rollover. The minimum jackpot figure for each draw for the $2 Jackpot Lottery is a healthy AUS $500,000 and when the jackpot is not won, it increases for each draw by AUS $110,000. Like a raffle, each of the 225,000 tickets will have their own unique number. You simply choose how many tickets you want and if any of the numbers on your tickets match the winning lottery numbers drawn – you win the corresponding prize. Unlike typical jackpot lottery games, with the Lucky Lotteries – $2 Jackpot Lottery – from NSW Lotteries – you do not need to select your own numbers. There are 2 ways to play… • Request a selection of RANDOM ticket numbers (up to a maximum of 5) and you will be provided with tickets that have numbers which have been randomly generated. • Request a selection of SEQUENTIAL ticket numbers (there is no limit to how many here) and you will be provided with tickets that have numbers which follow on from each other sequentially.
