Lotto Strike Odds and Prizes
Lotto Strike has four prize divisions and you can win just by getting one of your numbers in the correct place. Except for the prize in the fourth division, all payouts are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis.
The Division 1 prize starts at $100,000 and it jackpots to the next draw until it’s won. Before the grand prize is given to those matching all four numbers in the correct order, Division 4 prizes are paid out of the 45% allocated to Division 1.

How to Play and Claiming Prizes
After deciding whether you want to enter Lotto Strike with Monday Lotto, Wednesday Lotto or Saturday Lotto, you may choose which type of entry you’d like to play. Explore the different ways in which you can enter Lotto Strike:
Marked entry
You have complete freedom to choose your own four numbers, from 1 to 45, in the order you think they will be drawn.
Advance and Multi-Week entries
Save time and don’t miss out on any future Lotto Strike draws! With the Multi-Week entry, you can play up to 10 consecutive draws. The Advance entry lets you enter a particular draw in the future, up to 10 weeks ahead.
Boxed entry
If you decide to choose a Boxed entry, your four numbers will be entered in every possible combination. Your chances of winning are increased as, if your numbers are drawn, you win a prize regardless of whether they are drawn first, second, third or fourth. In comparison, if you play the Marked entry with 10, 20, 30 and 40, you rely on the number 10 being drawn first, 20 being drawn second, and so on. But if you play the same set of numbers with a Boxed entry, you will be submitting 24 entries instead of just the one. The order of the numbers will therefore change.
Claiming Prizes
