What is my Consolation Prize?

If you narrowly miss picking every winner in one of our pools, you will win (or share in the case of multiple winners), the relevant consolation prize listed in the pool header. Please note that not all pools offer consolation prizes. Consolation prize pools can be bigger for fewer correct selections than consolation pools for more correct selections. This is because there are generally more tickets eligible for the prizes, although the dividend is usually greater.

For example:

Correct Score Pick 6 pool

- Prize for 5 of 6 correct selections: 10,000 with 10 winning tickets = 1,000 paid to winners

- Prize for 4 of 6 correct selections: 15,000 with 50 winning tickets = 300 paid to winners

- Prize for 3 of 6 correct selections: 20,000 with 100 winning tickets = 200 paid to winners

So in the above example, even though the 4 of 6 has a higher prize than the 5 of 6, the 5 of 6 still pays a higher dividend to winning ticket holders
