Lotto Saturday Australia

Previously in the Saturday lotto, 6 main numbers are selected from a possible 40 and also a supplementary number is added. But presently it has been changed as it is now 6 main numbers selected from a possible 45 and also 2 supplementary numbers. This change has greatly reduced the possibility of winning a prize or rather the jackpot in the Saturday Lotto. To play in the lottery, players are required to pick a minimum of 6 numbers from 45, and when the draw is done if your 6 numbers match the 6 main numbers drawn then you have won the jackpot.
