What is the major draw?

Last updated 25 September 2026 (AEST) · 8 open draws · Method: definition written by our editors; the open-draw table is read from each operator's published draw pages on every sync.

The major draw is the draw for the first prize, usually the house. It happens after ticket sales close or the lottery sells out.

Major draws are conducted under the conditions of the operator's permit, often with an independent scrutineer present, and results are published on the operator's website and in the media as the permit requires.
