A System entry allows you to choose up to 20 numbers in a single game panel. Playing a Systems game is like playing in lots of standard games. As you probably know, a standard game panel in Gold Lotto is 6 numbers. So when you choose more than 6 numbers in a panel, you get many combinations of 6 numbers which can be made from the numbers you choose. The table below shows you how many equivalent games each system entry gives you.

Let's use a Gold Lotto System 7 as an example. If you buy a System 7 entry and choose these seven numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7; you will automatically have all possible game combinations of 6 numbers that these numbers give you. If you wrote out all of these possible combinations for your 7 numbers, it would look like this. Game 1 1 2 3 4 5 6   Game 2 1 2 3 4 5   7 Game 3 1 2 3 4   6 7 Game 4 1 2 3   5 6 7 Game 5 1 2   4 5 6 7 Game 6 1   3 4 5 6 7 Game 7   2 3 4 5 6 7 Why do you win more with a Systems entry? Let's use the above example where we played a System 7 and chose the numbers 1 through 7, (the equivalent to 7 games). So then, if the winning numbers chosen in the draw are; 1, 2, 4, 5, 17, 28 with Supps 7 & 31 Then out of the 7 numbers you chose, you have 5 of the numbers correct, which looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 However, because you are playing a systems entry, the prizes are calculated against all of the equivalent game combinations. And this means that you can win multiple times, because you have multiple combinations of 6 numbers. Your wins look like this: Game Combinations Divison Won Game 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 Div 4 Game 2 1 2 3 4 5 7 Div 4 Game 3 1 2 3 4 6 7 Div 5 Game 4 1 2 3 5 6 7 Div 5 Game 5 1 2 4 5 6 7 Div 4 Game 6 1 3 4 5 6 7 Div 5 Game 7 2 3 4 5 6 7 Div 5 So as you can see, playing a systems entry, you have the ability to win multiple times on one entry. And the news just gets better, the bigger your systems entry. For example, if you play a System 9 with your syndicate or family, and you get four numbers and 1 Supplementary number, you'll win 10 times the division 4 and 24 times the division 5 dividend.

So a System 8 means you select 8 numbers from 45, and a System 17 means you select 17 numbers from 45. You can choose from 7 - 20 numbers in one game. Systems operate differently in Powerball where you can only choose extra numbers in the first game panel. So to play a System 10 in Powerball, you choose 10 numbers in the first panel, and only one number - the Powerball - in the second panel. Refer to the 'Equivalent Games' table above (click here) to cross-check your Systems entry against the relevant equivalent number of standard games played. To play a Systems game, cross (x) your selected numbers in the one game panel, then place a cross (x) in the System box in that game panel. For all Lotto games, you can play anything from one Systems game panel on a coupon up to the following: Systems type Maximum games per coupon Systems 7 to Systems 13 12 Systems 14 to Systems 20 4 Note: When playing a Systems 7 Quickpick in Saturday/Wednesday Gold Lotto, a minimum of two game panels is required.
