The Saturday Lotto odds calculator gives the exact odds for Australia’s classic 6 from 45 draw. All six winning numbers, Division 1, is 1 in 8,145,060 per game. Five plus one of the two supplementaries is 1 in 678,755. Your chance of any prize is about 1 in 42, now that three winning numbers count as a division. The free calculator above covers every match and as many games as you play.
Saturday Lotto odds for every match
Eight balls come from one barrel: six winning numbers, then two supplementaries. A supplementary only helps on the numbers you missed.
| Match | Odds per line |
|---|---|
| 6 | 1 in 8,145,060 |
| 5 + supplementary | 1 in 678,755 |
| 5 | 1 in 36,689 |
| 4 + supplementary | 1 in 7,240 |
| 4 | 1 in 815 |
| 3 + supplementary | 1 in 297 |
| 3 | 1 in 52.4 |
| 2 + supplementary | 1 in 33.5 |
| 2 | 1 in 8.2 |
For m matches: C(6, m) × C(39, 6 − m) ÷ C(45, 6). The supplementary split checks whether any of your other numbers is one of the two.
Why it’s the best-odds lotto in Australia
Saturday Lotto has the smallest number pool of the national games, so it’s the easiest Division 1 to hit: about 7.7 times easier than Oz Lotto and 16.5 times easier than Powerball. The jackpot is smaller as a result, typically a few million rather than tens of millions, and more often shared.
Playing 12 games every Saturday for 10 years gives about a 1 in 1,300 shot at Division 1. Change the numbers in the calculator to see your own.
Compare with the Oz Lotto odds calculator and the Powerball Australia odds calculator.
