Overseas Lotto; is it Worth Playing to Win from Australia?
When it comes to overseas lotto, Australian and New Zealanders can be hesitant to step into the unknown. However, little do they realise the advantages of the international lottery opportunities hosted by The Lottery Office. So, if you’re wondering whether or not it’s worth playing overseas lotteries, here are a few reasons why it’s a big, fat, resounding YES!
BIGGER JACKPOTS
The jackpots in some overseas lotto draws are significantly larger on average than what you will find in a traditional Australian or New Zealand lottery.
For example, the US Powerball normally has a minimum jackpot of USD$20 million (over AUD$25 million). Compare that to a traditional Australian Tuesday night lotto, which has a minimum guaranteed jackpot of a relatively modest AUD$2 Million. Due to Covid, the US Powerball’s minimum jackpot was reduced from USD$40 million to USD$20 million, however, it still dwarfs any minimum jackpot from traditional Australian lotteries.
Of course, international lotteries have the potential to pay out significantly more than their minimum jackpots, so the minimum alone can’t be used to judge a lottery’s jackpot potential. The US Powerball holds the world record for the largest prize EVER awarded at a whopping USD$1.586 billion (approx. AUD$2.2 billion)!!! While the largest-ever jackpot for a traditional Australian lottery is AUD$150 million (which was shared by 3 people).

YOU’LL HAVE ACCESS TO SPECIAL FEATURES
Some overseas lotto draws have options to select special features unique to their specific lottery, unlike Australian lotteries that play standard games. For example, suppose you play our USA Power Lotto or USA Mega Lotto and choose your own numbers. In that case, you can select the ‘multiplier’ option and win more. It works differently for each lottery, but the multiplier option gives you the chance to win up to 10 times more.
Another example is the EuroMillions superdraws. These draws are held randomly throughout the year and give you the chance to win more. A superdraw is just like a regular draw, but the jackpots are even bigger. The most exciting thing about a superdraw is you never know when it’s coming, and when it does, you bet you want to be in it to win it!
