Weekday Windfall Prizes & Rules – Chances of Winning

Weekday Windfall Prizes & Jackpots

Weekday Windfall does not have a traditional jackpot that grows in the absence of a winner. This means that a player knows exactly how much the top Weekday Windfall prizes are before the draw.

A lucky winner who matches six main numbers to the winning numbers drawn will receive A$1,000,000. If more than one player wins the Weekday Windfall main prize, each will receive A$1,000,000, up to a limit of six winners. If more than six players correctly match six main numbers, the A$6,000,000 Weekday Windfall jackpot is split among all winners. The odds of winning the Weekday Windfall main prize are 1 in 8,145,060.

Weekday Windfall has six prize tiers. During the draw, a lottery machine generates six main numbers and two supplementary numbers, which are used to determine the prizes for the second, fifth and sixth tiers. The overall odds of winning any of the Australia Weekday Windfall prizes are 1 in 85.44.

Australia Weekday Windfall fun facts

In November 1979, the Australian Monday Lotto was introduced. In November 1984, Wednesday Lotto was introduced. Initially, Mon & Wed Lotto was only available in the state of New South Wales and was referred to as the “New South Wales lottery.” Everything changed in 2006, when South Australia and Western Australia decided to sell Monday and Wednesday Lotto tickets in their respective states.

The real breakthrough occurred on May 20, 2024, when the organizer of the Australian national lottery decided to rename it Weekday Windfall and add an additional draw every Friday.

Sam Fabio, a truck driver from the Western suburbs, was the first to win the Monday Lotto jackpot. In March 1980, he won A$1,185,872.

Wednesday Lotto was known by various names in different states, including Wednesday Gold Lotto in Queensland and Wednesday X Lotto in South Australia.

In Western Australia, Weekday Windfall is known as Millionaire Medley. Although this part of Australia has a different lottery operator and branding, the rules of the game remain exactly the same.

Other popular Australian lotteries available at LottoPark include Powerball Australia, Saturday Lotto, and OZ Lotto. Click here to play the lotto online and win the best prizes and jackpots.
