What a system entry is
Lotterywest’s FAQ describes a system entry as playing “up to 20 of your selected numbers, and every possible combination of those numbers”. Oz Lotto draws seven winning numbers, so a System 8 means you choose 8 numbers and hold every 7-number game among them: 8 games in all.
Each extra number multiplies the combinations. A System 9 holds 36 games and a System 12 holds 792. That’s the maths, not a mood, and it is why prices climb so quickly past System 10.
Systems 5 and 6 work the other way round. You choose 5 or 6 numbers, and the entry fills the remaining places with every other number in the barrel. A System 5 comes to 861 games and a System 6 to 41.
Oz Lotto systems price list
A System 8 costs $11.65 in WA. Here’s the table, from Lotterywest’s Oz Lotto price list checked on 27 September 2026.
| System | Numbers you choose | Games | Price in WA |
|---|---|---|---|
| System 5 | 5 | 861 | $1,253.60 |
| System 6 | 6 | 41 | $59.70 |
| System 8 | 8 | 8 | $11.65 |
| System 9 | 9 | 36 | $52.40 |
| System 10 | 10 | 120 | $174.70 |
| System 11 | 11 | 330 | $480.50 |
| System 12 | 12 | 792 | $1,153.15 |
Divide any price by its games and you land on about $1.46 a game. That matches the standard games in the same list, where 10 games cost $14.55. A system carries no discount and no surcharge, and Lotterywest charges the same in store and online.
What the money buys is coverage: every combination of your chosen numbers, so one good draw can pay several games at once. The next section shows how that plays out for a System 8.

What a System 8 wins
Because the 8 games share most of their numbers, one result pays several of them together. The table counts the winning games in a System 8 for each outcome, using Lotterywest’s division rules.
| Winning numbers among your 8 | None of the others is a supplementary | One of the others is a supplementary |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 1 × Division 1, 7 × Division 3 | 1 × Division 1, 7 × Division 2 |
| 6 | 2 × Division 3, 6 × Division 5 | 1 × Division 2, 1 × Division 3, 6 × Division 4 |
| 5 | 3 × Division 5, 5 × Division 6 | 2 × Division 4, 1 × Division 5, 5 × Division 6 |
| 4 | 4 × Division 6 | 4 × Division 6, 4 × Division 7 |
| 3 | no prize | 4 × Division 7 |
We counted these from the division rules. Lotterywest publishes its own prize table for every Oz Lotto system, linked under Sources. Each winning game is paid the dividend for its division in that draw.
The Oz Lotto prize divisions guide explains every combination and shows the typical dividend for each division in 2026.
Your odds with a system
A system doesn’t change the odds of a single game; it changes how many games you hold. Division 1 is 1 in 62,891,499 per game, so the whole entry’s chance is that figure divided by its games.
| System | Games | Division 1 odds for the whole entry |
|---|---|---|
| System 8 | 8 | about 1 in 7,861,437 |
| System 9 | 36 | about 1 in 1,746,986 |
| System 10 | 120 | about 1 in 524,096 |
| System 11 | 330 | about 1 in 190,580 |
| System 12 | 792 | about 1 in 79,409 |
A System 8 and eight standard games cost about the same and hold the same 8 chances at Division 1. The difference is overlap.
The games in a System 8 share six of their seven numbers with each other, so wins arrive together: when your numbers come up, several games pay in the same draw. Eight separate games spread across more numbers, so they win or miss more independently.
The odds for every division are on the odds of winning Oz Lotto page, next to Powerball, Saturday Lotto and the daily games.
Systems 13 to 19
Lotterywest’s price list says Oz Lotto system tickets are available up to System 19, and its FAQ lists Systems 4 to 6 and 8 to 19. The price list stops at System 12, so we can’t give a WA price for anything bigger, or for System 4. The number of games is simple combination maths:
| System | Games |
|---|---|
| System 13 | 1,716 |
| System 14 | 3,432 |
| System 15 | 6,435 |
| System 16 | 11,440 |
| System 17 | 19,448 |
| System 18 | 31,824 |
| System 19 | 50,388 |
System 4 works like Systems 5 and 6: your 4 numbers plus every combination of three more from the barrel, which comes to 12,341 games.
Sales close and where to buy
Lotterywest closes Oz Lotto sales at 6:00 pm AWST on Tuesdays. That’s 8:00 pm AEST, or 9:00 pm AEDT in NSW, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania once daylight saving starts on 4 October.
Big systems are often shared, and Lotterywest lists syndicates among its ways to play Oz Lotto. If you split a system with friends or workmates, write down who paid which share before the draw; it saves a long conversation afterwards.
Lotterywest also lets you enter most Lotto games up to nine weeks in advance, so a system doesn’t have to be bought on the day.
In WA, Lotterywest’s prices above apply at retailers and online. We couldn’t check prices outside WA, because The Lott’s site doesn’t open from our location, and Oz Lotteries doesn’t sell to WA or Queensland residents. After the draw, the Tuesday Oz Lotto results show every dividend.
