Lotto is a game of chance where players select a set of numbers to match them with the numbers drawn in the official lottery draw. The more numbers you match, the bigger your prize. Lotto draws occur twice weekly, giving you plenty of chances to win.

Powerball is another exciting lottery game that offers even larger jackpots. In addition to selecting numbers, players choose a Powerball number, which can significantly boost their winnings if matched. Powerball draws occur separately from Lotto draws, providing more opportunities to become a millionaire.
