Read on to find out where in the world you can set your sights.

USA Mega Lotto

The US Mega Millions has been running for over 25 years, with record-breaking wins reaching up to an astonishing $2.4 billion. If you dream of winning big, this one isn’t to be missed. With a minimum weekly jackpot of $25 million, and only $7 to play per game, it could be worth a shot!

Aussie and Kiwi players can win from draws of this lotto on Wednesdays and Saturdays each week. To play, simply pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one mega number from a separate pool of 1 to 25. Alternatively, if you’re feeling indecisive, let us randomly pick for you! On top of this, you can add the multiplier feature to each ticket, which can see any non-jackpot prizes skyrocket by up to 500%!

European Millions

If you’re feeling continental, why not set your sights on the EuroMillions, one of Europe’s largest and most popular lotteries? Since 2018, the European Millions has been exclusive to The Lottery Office, offering Australians the chance to win up to a sweet $400 million, 100% tax-free!

To play the EuroMillions, players must pick five main numbers, from 1 to 50, plus two “Lucky Star” numbers from a different pool of numbers: 1 to 12. Draws happen biweekly on Wednesday and Saturday, so your chances are twice as nice! You can also take part in the infamous “Superdraws”, which take place up to four times a year with a minimum jackpot of $190 million.

UK Lotto

The UK National Lottery is a national treasure in the UK, and rightly so! Over 5,000 players have fulfilled their dreams of becoming millionaires, with more than $119 billion awarded in prizes since 1994. Not only is it fun for players, but the UK Lotto also gives roughly $53 million back to the community each week.

It’s easy for Australians to take part – players just need to match six numbers between 1-59 for the chance to win a healthy $3 million in our UK Lotto. On top of this, if you match any two winning numbers, you win a free game with randomly picked numbers for the following draw. You’ll be hard pressed to find a lotto with a feature this generous!

Irish Lotto

Why not see if the luck of the Irish is on your side and have a crack at the Irish Lotto? Known for its simplicity, the Irish Lotto has been making ordinary people millionaires since 1986, including a syndicate of quarry workers in 2008, who won a whopping $29.5 million. With draws held twice weekly, who knows when the next winner could be you!

Aussies and Kiwis can win by picking just six numbers from 1 to 47, and if they match those drawn on the all-important day, you could win a minimum of $3 million.

La Primitiva

One of the oldest lottos on the list is La Primitiva, a Spanish lottery that has been running for centuries. Held three times a week with massive jackpots, this lotto has seen previous winners raking in up to $160 million. Tickets cost just $3.70 per game, making this a great option for those that don’t want to break the bank.

Anyone aged 18 or over in Australia and New Zealand can be a winner simply by selecting six numbers from 49, and one from 0 to 9. The fun doesn’t stop there with this lotto, as it also has two special optional games that players can take part in: the “Joker” and the “Reintegro”, with the Joker offering an amazing top prize of an additional $1.6 million!

Why Should You Choose International Lotteries Over Australian?

The Lottery Office gives Aussies (and Kiwis!) the chance to win some of the biggest jackpots worldwide. By creating eight original lotteries, exclusive to Australia, with matched tickets to an equivalent international lottery, The Lottery Office allows players to take a first-class flight to some of the best lotteries on the planet.

Australian lotteries typically only offer prize pools of single or double-digit millions. When you compare this to the EuroMillions, where you could potentially win up to $400 million, you can see why people prefer to chase those dreams internationally!

The Lottery Office also makes regular donations to local Australian charities and community groups. From The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) to Assistance Dogs Australia , a percentage of each ticket goes towards making a big difference to some worthy causes.
