How the new two-round Lotto format works
A clear look at the two sets of numbers now drawn from every Lotto entry.

One ticket, two chances
The current Lotto format produces two separate rounds for the same draw date. Each round has six main numbers and its own bonus ball, so check both sets against your ticket.
Check the round carefully
LotteryToday separates Round 1 and Round 2 visually. Match the draw date first, then compare one complete round at a time to avoid mixing numbers from the two results.
Confirm any prize
Our results help you compare numbers, but the official operator makes the final decision on ticket validity and prizes. Keep your ticket safe and use the official checker before making a claim.
