Oz Lotto History and Statistics
Explore confirmed current-format Oz Lotto draws, main and supplementary number frequencies, Division 1 results and the wider history of Australia’s Tuesday jackpot game.
Oz Lotto statistics from the MLL draw history
These figures use confirmed current-format Oz Lotto draws stored by the MLL Lottery Data Manager, beginning with Draw 1474 on 17 May 2022.
The exact number of confirmed current-format draws will appear when the stored history loads.
Oz Lotto main number frequency
Each current-format draw contains seven winning numbers from 1 to 47. The figures below show how often each number appeared as a winning number in the selected confirmed draw history.
“% of draws” means the share of selected draws in which that number appeared among the seven winning numbers. A higher historical count does not make it more likely next Tuesday.
Oz Lotto supplementary number frequency
Three supplementary numbers are drawn from the same 1–47 pool after the seven winning numbers. They are counted separately here because their role in the prize divisions is different.
A number can appear as a winning number in one draw and a supplementary number in another. These two frequency views deliberately keep those roles separate.

Why the 17 May 2022 boundary matters
Oz Lotto has existed since 1994, but the rules have not stayed identical. On 17 May 2022 the game changed from seven winning numbers drawn from 45 to seven from 47, and the number of supplementary balls increased from two to three.
That change affects frequency analysis immediately. Numbers 46 and 47 did not even exist in the previous matrix, while every older draw contained only two supplementary numbers. Combining the eras into one “most common Oz Lotto numbers” table would therefore compare unlike data.
Oz Lotto history
Oz Lotto has been part of Australian lottery history for more than three decades. The milestones below give the wider context without mixing incompatible formats into the current statistics.
| Milestone | What happened |
|---|---|
| 1994 | Oz Lotto launched as Australia’s first wholly national Lotto game. |
| 2005 | A major game change introduced the seven-winning-number structure used before the 2022 matrix expansion. |
| 6 Nov 2012 | The Division 1 pool reached A$111,972,151.04 and was shared by four winning entries. This belongs to the older 7-from-45 era. |
| 17 May 2022 | Draw 1474 launched the present 7-from-47 format with three supplementary numbers. The starting Division 1 pool rose from A$2 million to A$3 million. |
| 2024 | Oz Lotto reached its 30th year as a national Australian lottery game. |
| 2026 | Lotterywest’s current game information lists the starting Division 1 pool at A$4 million. |
The A$111.97 million record needs context
Oz Lotto’s famous November 2012 result is often shortened to a “A$100 million jackpot”. The advertised headline was A$100 million, but the final Division 1 prize pool reached A$111,972,151.04 and four winning entries shared it.
That distinction matters in a historical dataset. MLL keeps the advertised jackpot, final Division 1 pool, number of winning entries and prize per winning entry as separate concepts rather than treating them as one interchangeable figure.

What these statistics can tell you
The stored history can answer factual questions: how many confirmed draws are held, which numbers appeared most or least often in that period, how frequently Division 1 was won, how long rollover runs lasted and what happened in individual completed draws.
It can also be recalculated over the latest 20, 50, 100 or 200 draws. That is useful when comparing periods, provided the question remains historical rather than predictive.
What they cannot tell you
They cannot identify the next winning line. A number that has appeared frequently is not “hot” in a way that changes its next-draw probability, and a number missing for several weeks is not mathematically “due”.
If you want random valid combinations rather than historical analysis, use the Oz Lotto number generator.
Oz Lotto statistics FAQs
How many Oz Lotto draws are included?
The live total at the top of this page comes from the MLL Lottery Data Manager. The statistics are restricted to confirmed current-format draws beginning with Draw 1474 on 17 May 2022.
Why does the Oz Lotto statistics table start in May 2022?
That is when Oz Lotto changed from 45 to 47 balls and from two supplementary numbers to three. Keeping that rule boundary avoids mixing incompatible number matrices.
Are the main numbers and supplementary numbers counted together?
No. Both come from the 1–47 pool, but they perform different roles in the draw and prize table, so MLL counts them separately.
Do the most frequently drawn Oz Lotto numbers have a better chance next draw?
No. Frequency describes completed draws. It does not change the probability of a valid number or combination in the next independent draw.
Was the biggest Oz Lotto jackpot A$100 million or A$111.97 million?
The November 2012 draw was advertised at A$100 million, while the final Division 1 prize pool reached A$111,972,151.04 and was shared by four winning entries.
Can I see the actual historical winning numbers?
Yes. The recent historical table above shows the stored draw number, date, seven winning numbers, three supplementary numbers, Division 1 status and advertised jackpot where that metadata is available.
