Western Australian Current Regulations

LOTTERIES COMMISSION (AUTHORISED LOTTERIES) RULES 2016 - REG 83

83 .         Bonus draws and guaranteed prize pools for division 1

        (1)         The Commission may from time to time declare an OZ Lotto draw to be a bonus draw and fix a minimum guaranteed prize pool for division 1 in that draw.

        (2)         The Commission may add all or part of the prize reserve fund to the division 1 prize pool in a bonus draw to increase the division 1 prize pool to the guaranteed amount and any amount so added forms part of that prize pool.

        (3)         Where a bonus draw is declared under this rule, and a jackpot division 1 prize coincides with that draw, the Commission may elect to reduce the augmentation from the prize reserve fund set out in subrule (2) by the amount of the jackpot.

        (4)         If —

            (a)         no one wins a division 1 prize in a bonus draw; and

            (b)         all or part of the prize reserve fund would have to have been used to increase the division 1 prize pool to a guaranteed amount had there been a division 1 winner,

                the amount of the reserve that would have been so used is to be returned to the prize reserve fund and is not to be counted when calculating the jackpot prize pool for the next OZ Lotto draw.
