Keep the order
A result shown as 02 / 15 means 2 is the first field and 15 is the second. Reversing the fields produces a different result.
Choose a draw and wager
Confirm the draw time and stake printed on the ticket before leaving the retailer. The five daily draws are Early Bird, Morning, Midday, Drive Time, and Evening.
Check the official result
Compare each field on the ticket with the corresponding field in the winning result. Payouts depend on the wager and the number of matching fields, so use the current official rules when checking a prize.
