About Weekday Windfall
Weekday Windfall — formerly known as Monday & Wednesday Lotto until its 2024 rebrand — is Australia's mid-week lottery draw, operated by The Lott. Drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at approximately 8:30pm AEST, it guarantees a Division 1 prize pool of $1 Million shared among up to 4 winners per draw.
How Weekday Windfall Works
Weekday Windfall uses the same straightforward 6-from-45 format as TattsLotto:
- 6 winning numbers drawn from a barrel of 45 balls (numbered 1–45)
- 2 supplementary numbers drawn from the remaining 39 balls
- 6 prize divisions determining winners
The key difference from TattsLotto is the prize structure: Weekday Windfall offers a fixed $1 Million Division 1 pool (up to 4 winners), whereas TattsLotto has variable jackpots starting at $4 Million. A standard game costs $0.75, making it the most affordable Australian lottery per game.
Prize Division Breakdown
| Division | Match | Typical Prize | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 winning numbers | $1M (up to 4 winners) | 1 in 8,145,060 |
| 2 | 5 winning + 1 supp | $3,000–$8,000 | 1 in 678,755 |
| 3 | 5 winning numbers | $400–$700 | 1 in 36,689 |
| 4 | 4 winning numbers | $20–$30 | 1 in 733 |
| 5 | 3 winning + 1 supp | $10–$15 | 1 in 297 |
| 6 | 1 or 2 winning + 2 supp | $8–$12 | 1 in 144 |
The overall odds of winning any prize are approximately 1 in 85, identical to TattsLotto.
The 2024 Rebrand
In May 2024, Monday & Wednesday Lotto was rebranded as Weekday Windfall with the addition of a Friday draw. The game mechanics (6 from 45), $1 Million Division 1 guarantee, and prize structure remained unchanged — only the name and draw frequency changed. The third weekly draw increased total available prize money by 50%.
Weekday Windfall vs TattsLotto
Since both games use the identical 6-from-45 format, the Division 1 odds are the same: 1 in 8,145,060. The key differences are:
- Prize size: TattsLotto offers $4M+ jackpots; Weekday Windfall is a fixed $1M
- Frequency: Weekday Windfall draws 3× per week; TattsLotto draws once (Saturday)
- Cost: Weekday Windfall games cost $0.75 vs TattsLotto's $1.20
- Rollovers: Weekday Windfall's fixed prize never rolls over, meaning every draw offers the same $1M
Weekday Windfall is ideal for regular players who want frequent, affordable chances at $1 million without waiting for rollover jackpots.
Historical Insights
Our analysis of thousands of Weekday Windfall draws shows the same statistical patterns as TattsLotto (expected, given the identical format): balanced odd/even splits in winning sets, no persistent hot or cold numbers over the full dataset, and a birthday bias in player selections (numbers 1–31 are more commonly picked).
Weekday Windfall Strategy Considerations
Because Weekday Windfall uses the same 6-from-45 barrel as TattsLotto, the same analytical tools and strategies apply:
- Frequency charts: View the most and least drawn numbers across all Monday, Wednesday, and Friday draws
- Gap analysis: Identify numbers that haven't appeared recently — while past draws don't predict future results, some players use this to diversify their selections
- Number sum ranges: Winning sets typically have a total sum between 100 and 170; extreme high or low sums are rare
- Popular number avoidance: Since Weekday Windfall's $1M prize is shared among up to 4 winners, choosing less popular numbers (above 31) could mean a larger share if you win
- Multi-draw consistency: With three draws per week, Weekday Windfall offers more frequent opportunities to play — our analytics help you track patterns across all three draw days

Is Weekday Windfall Worth Playing?
Weekday Windfall offers the best value per game of any Australian lottery at just $0.75. While the $1 Million Division 1 prize is smaller than TattsLotto or Powerball jackpots, the three weekly draws and lower cost per game make it appealing for regular players. Since the prize is fixed and doesn't roll over, there's no advantage to waiting for a larger jackpot — every draw offers the same $1 Million opportunity. Players spending $6 on eight Weekday Windfall games get the same odds as a single $1.20 TattsLotto game but across eight independent tickets, offering more flexibility in number selection.
