How to Play Monday Lotto
Start your week with a million-dollar chance
About Monday Lotto
Monday Lotto (also known as Gold Lotto Monday in Queensland) is a popular way to start the working week in Australia, with draws every Monday night at 8:30 PM AEST. Featuring a guaranteed $1 million Division 1 prize every single week, Monday Lotto offers consistent, life-changing prizes at great value. The game follows the same 6/45 format as Saturday Lotto, making it familiar and easy to play for all Australians. While the jackpot may be smaller than Powerball or Oz Lotto, the odds of winning are significantly better, and the guaranteed nature of the prize pool means there is always a millionaire waiting to be made.
How to Play
Monday Lotto uses the same format as Saturday Lotto: select 6 numbers from 1 to 45 per game. QuickPick is available for random selections. Each game costs $0.65, making Monday Lotto one of the most budget-friendly lottery options in Australia. During the draw, 6 winning numbers and 2 supplementary numbers are drawn from a single barrel. Match all 6 to win Division 1. You can buy tickets at any authorised lottery outlet across Australia or through The Lott's online platform and app. Ticket sales close at approximately 7:25 PM AEST on Monday evenings.
