The next Oz Lotto draw is on the next Tuesday evening, at about 8:30 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), and ticket sales close an hour earlier, at 7:30 pm AEST, according to the operator's published times. That is 11:30 am in the UK, 4:00 pm in India and 6:30 pm in the Philippines while the UK is on summer time. There is one Oz Lotto draw a week.
Oz Lotto draw day: every Tuesday
Oz Lotto is drawn once a week, on Tuesday, by the Lott (Tabcorp) and its partner Lotterywest in Western Australia. Ten balls come out of the machine: the first seven are the winning numbers and the last three are supplementaries that count towards Divisions 2, 4 and 7 only. The draw is televised on 7TWO at about 8:30 pm AEST, and results for most Lott games are generally available by about 9:00 pm AEST. There is no Oz Lotto draw on any other day of the week, so a missed Tuesday means a wait of seven days.
What time is the Oz Lotto draw in your country?
The Lott publishes its lottery times in AEST (UTC+10) all year, including while Sydney and Melbourne are on daylight saving. That makes the draw 10:30 UTC on every Tuesday of the year, so the clock time in your country only changes when your own country changes its clocks.
| Country | Oz Lotto draw (about) | Day |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom, clocks on summer time (BST) | 11:30 am | Tuesday |
| United Kingdom, clocks on winter time (GMT) | 10:30 am | Tuesday |
| Nigeria | 11:30 am | Tuesday |
| South Africa | 12:30 pm | Tuesday |
| India | 4:00 pm | Tuesday |
| Philippines | 6:30 pm | Tuesday |
| US Eastern, on daylight time (EDT) | 6:30 am | Tuesday |
| US Eastern, on standard time (EST) | 5:30 am | Tuesday |
| Brisbane and Perth | 8:30 pm in Brisbane, 6:30 pm in Perth | Tuesday |
| Sydney and Melbourne, on daylight saving (AEDT) | 9:30 pm | Tuesday |
The UK moves from BST to GMT on the last Sunday of October (25 October in 2026), and the US moves from EDT to EST on the first Sunday of November (1 November in 2026). Sydney and Melbourne are on daylight saving from the first Sunday of October to the first Sunday of April, so in summer their Tuesday-evening clock reads an hour later than the AEST times above.
Oz Lotto ticket deadline: sales close at 7:30 pm AEST
Entries for the Tuesday draw close at 7:30 pm AEST at the Lott. In Western Australia, Lotterywest closes at 6:00 pm AWST, which is 30 minutes later in absolute time. These are the cut-offs in your country:
| Country | Sales close (the Lott) |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom, BST | 10:30 am Tuesday |
| United Kingdom, GMT | 9:30 am Tuesday |
| Nigeria | 10:30 am Tuesday |
| South Africa | 11:30 am Tuesday |
| India | 3:00 pm Tuesday |
| Philippines | 5:30 pm Tuesday |
| US Eastern, EDT | 5:30 am Tuesday |
| US Eastern, EST | 4:30 am Tuesday |
| Sydney and Melbourne, on daylight saving | 8:30 pm Tuesday |
Other sellers can close earlier than the Lott, so the deadline that counts is the one on the checkout page where you buy. If you order through a lottery courier, the ticket has to be bought in Australia and scanned to your account before the cut-off, so treat Tuesday morning in Australia as your real deadline and order the day before if you can.
Where to find the Oz Lotto results
The winning numbers and the three supplementaries are posted after the draw. Our Oz Lotto results page lists the latest draws, and the prize divisions are set out in the Oz Lotto odds and prizes guide.
How big does the Oz Lotto jackpot get?
Division 1 starts at a guaranteed AU$3 million and has no cap, so it rolls on every Tuesday until a ticket matches all seven numbers. The chance of that is 1 in 62,891,499, and about 1 in 50 for a prize of any kind. Prizes are paid as a single lump sum with nothing withheld in Australia. The game page, Oz Lotto: odds, draw days and how to play, explains the format.
