What is a ticket pool?
Last updated 15 October 2026 (AEST) · 9 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 ticket pool is the maximum number of tickets a lottery is allowed to sell, set by its permit. If every ticket sells, your odds for one ticket are one in that number.
A smaller pool means better odds per ticket. When a lottery does not sell out, fewer tickets are in the draw and the odds for each ticket are better than the published maximum suggests.
