1

Choose both fields

Choose one number from 1 to 36 for the first field and another number from 1 to 36 for the second field. The same value may be selected in both fields when the rules allow it.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
