What are the supplementary numbers?

In a Cashcade Celebration, $1 million is guaranteed to be won in every draw. If no tickets match all the main numbers, the prize ‘cascades’ down to all the other prize divisions, increasing the value of payouts. Cashcade Celebrations usually run for a few weeks, so there may be several draws when the lower prizes are boosted.
What is a Double Your Win Draw?
Double Your Win draws give you the chance to win bigger prizes than normal. As the name suggests, the value of payouts is doubled. This applies to all prize divisions except the jackpot, which stays fixed at $1 million per winner. Double Your Win draws are called Double Win Days in Western Australia.

How do I claim a prize if I win?
The process for claiming prizes depends on a number of factors, such as how much you have won and where you purchased your ticket. For smaller prizes you just need to go to a store to collect your money, while for larger prizes you need to claim by post or visit a lottery head office. Go to the How to Claim page to learn more about what to do if you win. You must claim your prize in the same state where you bought your entry.
