What Is Oz Lotto Prize Boost?
Oz Lotto Prize Boost is an optional add-on available when purchasing an Oz Lotto ticket through The Lott. For roughly $1 extra per game, it boosts prizes in Divisions 2 through 7 by up to 40 times the standard payout. Division 1 — the jackpot — is completely unaffected by Prize Boost. The add-on is designed to make lower-division wins more rewarding, turning modest returns into meaningful payouts.
Prize Boost was introduced to give players a stronger incentive around the lower prize tiers. Without it, matching 3 or 4 numbers in the standard Oz Lotto draw often returns just enough to cover the ticket cost. With Prize Boost active, those same outcomes become significantly more valuable.
Prize Boost Multipliers Across All Divisions
The boost factor increases as you move down through the Oz Lotto Prize Boost divisions. The largest multipliers apply to the most commonly won (and lowest-paying) tiers:
| Division | Numbers Matched | Standard Prize (approx.) | Boost Factor | Boosted Prize (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Division 1 | 7 main numbers | $4M+ jackpot | No boost | Unchanged |
| Division 2 | 6 main + 1 supplementary | ~$30,000 | 2x | ~$60,000 |
| Division 3 | 6 main numbers | ~$5,000 | 4x | ~$20,000 |
| Division 4 | 5 main + 1 or 2 supplementary | ~$500 | 10x | ~$5,000 |
| Division 5 | 5 main numbers | ~$50 | 15x | ~$750 |
| Division 6 | 4 main numbers | ~$25 | 25x | ~$625 |
| Division 7 | 3 main + 1 supplementary | ~$12 | 40x | ~$480 |
Prize amounts vary each week depending on the Oz Lotto Prize Boost prize pool and winner distribution. Visit our Oz Lotto results page for the latest Oz Lotto Prize Boost results including a full prize breakdown by division.
How the Oz Lotto Prize Boost Draw Schedule Works
There is no separate Prize Boost draw. The Oz Lotto Prize Boost draw uses the exact same numbers as the regular Oz Lotto draw — 7 balls from 47 plus 3 supplementary numbers, every Tuesday at 8:30pm AEST. If your ticket has Prize Boost enabled and you match numbers in Divisions 2 through 7, the boosted multiplier is applied automatically. No extra action is required.
This means Oz Lotto Prize Boost winning numbers are always identical to the standard Oz Lotto winning numbers. There are no separate boost numbers to check. The difference is purely in how your prize amount is calculated.

Is Prize Boost Worth the Extra Cost?
The fundamental question: does spending approximately $1 extra per game deliver enough additional value? The answer depends on which divisions you realistically expect to win. With Division 1 odds sitting at 1 in 62,891,499, the overwhelming majority of Oz Lotto wins fall in Divisions 5, 6, and 7 — precisely where Prize Boost multipliers are strongest (15x, 25x, and 40x).
Take Division 7 as an example. The odds of matching 3 main numbers plus 1 supplementary are roughly 1 in 87. A standard Division 7 payout of around $12 barely registers. With Prize Boost at 40x, that same result pays approximately $480. For regular players who land Division 7 a few times per year, the boosted payouts can comfortably exceed the cumulative $1-per-game cost of the add-on.
The flip side: if you only play Oz Lotto occasionally and rarely hit lower divisions, the extra cost adds up without a return. Oz Lotto Prize Boost chances of paying off improve with frequency — the more you play, the more opportunities for those multiplied lower-division wins.
Prize Boost on System Entries
Prize Boost works with both standard and system entries. System entries cover multiple number combinations, which means more chances at lower-division wins per draw. A System 8 generates 8 individual games, and Prize Boost applies to each one at approximately $1 extra per game. For syndicate groups and system entry players, this can dramatically amplify the return on the frequent smaller wins that system entries tend to produce. Review number frequency data on our Oz Lotto analytics page to inform your system entry selections.
Oz Lotto Prize Boost vs Standard: Side-by-Side
| Feature | Standard Oz Lotto | With Prize Boost |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per game | ~$1.35 | ~$2.35 |
| Division 1 prize | $4M+ minimum jackpot | Identical — not boosted |
| Division 2–7 prizes | Standard pool share | Multiplied 2x to 40x |
| Draw schedule | Tuesday 8:30pm AEST | Same draw |
| Format | 7 from 47 + 3 supplementary | Same format |
| System entries | Available | Available |
Who Benefits Most from Prize Boost?
- Regular weekly players who accumulate lower-division wins over time
- System entry players where multiple Division 5–7 wins per draw are common
- Syndicate groups where the extra $1 per game is spread across members
- Players focused on overall return rather than exclusively chasing the Oz Lotto Prize Boost jackpot (which is not boosted at all)
If you buy a single standard game once a month, Prize Boost is less compelling — you need to actually win a lower division to see any benefit from the add-on.
How Oz Lotto Compares to Other Lotteries
Oz Lotto sits between Powerball (1 in 134.5 million for Division 1) and TattsLotto (1 in 8.1 million) in difficulty. The minimum Oz Lotto jackpot is $4 million, drawn every Tuesday. Prize Boost is currently unique to Oz Lotto — no other Australian lottery from The Lott offers an equivalent lower-division multiplier feature. This makes the Oz Lotto Prize Boost lottery option a distinctive choice for players who want more action from their non-jackpot wins.
