Would anyone object if this were moved to Lotteries in Australia or something similar? It's a great article, but the title sounds like it's a specific company by that name. Ambi 10:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm a bit dubious about TipStar being listed on the page - it is run by Tattersall's but is not a lottery game, rather a sports betting product, competing mainly with the (Victorian) TAB's FootyTip products for AFL. It doesn't exactly fit in a article about games of chance (no matter how much you think footy tipping is a 'lottery' anyway...! :-).
On a similar note, should information about 'draw' lotteries operated by state lottery organisations - such as NSW's Lucky Lotteries and Queensland's Casket games - be included on this article? I believe they would 'complete the picture' with regards Australian lottery games as it were, as they seem to be the only things I see missing. Thanks. - Spiky Sharkie [ talk ] 10:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I think this article doesn't have enough information on lottery games played in non- Tattersalls jurisdictions. Most of the information is relevent to Tasmania and Victoria. And new sections needed to be added for games that are played in other states. I would do this, except I live in Tasmania and have no experience with them. It wouldn't be difficult to write; a regular lottery player should be familiar enough to write an article. -- Kyle sb
Marked it for a section cleanup mainly because it seems to have been pulled straight from the Tattersall's site - which is probably okay (and it has been reduced to the one-game odds, compared to Tatts showing the odds for their minimum number of games, which is good), but I believe it just needs a bit of generalising. A couple of examples:
The other possibility is to merge them with the division lists under each game, giving a table with "division name - what's required to win - probability" in that order.
Also, things such as the price of the game could also be verified and placed underneath the appropriate game section, rather than in Stats. - Spiky Sharkie [ talk ] 13:29, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Something I was going to add to the Tatts Keno section of the article but I couldn't find anything "official" to back this up apart from promo posters: I noticed when I was in Tasmania recently that Tattersall's were promoting "$2 million every day (until won)" for the Tatts Keno 10/10 jackpot - has this been capped at $2 million, like Lotto Strike (NSW) was for a while at one point? I can't seem to find anything in the Tatts Keno rules about it, but then, I can't about the Lotto Strike cap either. - Spiky Sharkie [ talk ] 08:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
The image Image:Saturday lottery ticket Tasmania.JPG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

I've been attempting to update the page since the changes to the victorian lottery system from July 1. I've added sections for Intralot but they need more information added.
I also moved NSW Lotto / Monday & Wednesday Lotto to the national lottery section since it is now played everywhere except Qld.
One more thing I am unsure with is Golden Caskets's Winners Circle which gives out $10000 to a card holder. It is predominantly featured on the golden claket website so I don't know how its fits on this page. Brad F 89 ( talk) 13:17, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how long ago it changed, but SALotteries Keno used to have divisions from sport one to spot 15. Above spot 8 (I think) 0 numbers chosen would also pay (but not much). They also had multiple game cards that had 4 slots that allowed you to play 4 separate games, as well as nominating combinations of those games. This meant that if you played a combination with a spot 1, spot 2, spot 4 and spot 8 you could combine them so it was equivalent to haveing spot 1, spot 2, spot 3(2&1), spot 4, spot 5 (4&1), spot 6 (4&2), spot 7 (4&2&1), spot 8, spot 9 (8&1), spot 10 (8&2), spot 11 (8&2&1), spot 12 (8&4), spot 13 (8&4&1), spot 14 (8&4&2) and spot 15 (8&4&2&1) (each combination counted as a game and was charged accordingly ie $15). I think the multi-game entry slips were still available when SA initially went to Spot 10 being the highest division, but not sure whether they're still available now. Probably not so relevant, but for a long time Keno in SA was every 5 minutes (and I think draws would close a minute before) 152.91.9.153 ( talk) 03:25, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
"In August 2008, at a homecoming ceremony for Australian Olympic athletes, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said he was considering a UK-style national lottery to fund Australia's Olympic sports."
That is five years ago. Anyone got an update?
