We certainly hope it will be tonight. How are you? Doesn't look terrific. Now look,
before you start marvelling about the set, I want to get the order straight. One chopwedge
and two Eskimo pies. Well, I've got the ice cream van parked out in the front,
yes, illegally too, so it better be pretty quick. But isn't it great? And we welcome you all to
Australian Lotto Block tonight. So your Saturday entry has got to be number 412 or 413. And if
you've got those, then I'm happy to say you are in tonight's draw. And it's all very, very exciting,
isn't it, tonight? It certainly is, yes. I can't believe the colour. No, the colour, the electronics,
it's just terrific. Well, to add to the excitement tonight too, we've got a couple of new innovations
and these are most important because tonight, which is the reason we're dressed up in this
wonderful gown, is we are using 45 numbers, as you can see there, all President Correct, and
just as importantly, we are going to be drawing two supplementary numbers, not one, but two
supplementary numbers. And also, of course, there are now four prize divisions, each with higher
prize dividends, and overall they're about the same number of prizes. I think the chopwedges
are melting. Well, again, tonight we have the Government Supervisor with us and our Australian
Lotto Block representatives. These faces we all know. I'd like to introduce to you once again,
Lance, Doug and Kim. Good evening to you. Yes, gentlemen, welcome one and all. I think
Lance has been a bit toey today. He was upset with the ice cream order he put into me,
so I think we'll just let him get straight on with the draw and wish him well tonight and wish you
well at home too. A lot of money. A history-making night. 45 of them go down and speaking of a lot of
money, Deb, what is the total prize pool? It's a big one. $5,702,982.16. And of that, Division 1
prize pool stands at $1,710,894.65. Here comes the first one. I'm wondering if those numbers between
40 and 45 will come out. Number 24. So 24, the first one out. Actually, you keep looking at my
bow tie, but I've got to get on Jerry this morning. He said, look, I want to do something special.
Well, he certainly did. No doubt about it. Very formal. Very formal indeed. 24 is fine. Here we go.
43. Yes, one of the new numbers. So there you go. You should have entered on a new coupon this week.
Well, we had 10 lucky winners last week, Deb. And Victoria really stole the limelight because seven
of those winners came from Victoria, two from Queensland and one from South Australia.
Number 12 is down. Number 12. Yes, and last week, more than $185,000 was won. Fabulous amount.
Total prize pool tonight is $5,702,982.16.
Yes. Here comes the fourth one down. And I might add we're using new balls tonight. 41, Sandy,
look at that. We've got two of the new numbers and how very exciting it is. Division one, of course,
is all six winning numbers. Division two, any five winning numbers. I've never seen you this excited
before, Deb. And four winning numbers. And division four, any three winning numbers plus
either supplementary number. The fifth one down is 21. So we're looking 24, 43, 12, 41, 21. One
to go. Then we've got two supplementaries. Don't forget, too, if you've got a favorite set of
numbers, you've still got just as much chance of winning. But the thing to remember is do use
the new coupon with the 45 numbers on it. Yes, you need it too this week. Number 28,
finish those six numbers. We have some very exciting people. And now the supplementary
numbers, of course, are to be drawn. The supplementary numbers only determine division four prizes.
If you get both supplementaries and three correct numbers on a regular entry,
you still win only one division four prize. Here's the first. 42, do you believe it? I think it's
wonderful. I have a pick-pick on the new ones and the new forms and it has a lot of the new numbers.
I think it's very exciting. I think you've been at one of my ice creams, quite frankly. You're
just a bit too excited, Deb. But we're talking in excess of 5.7 million and of course next week's
the big week. Here's the second one. It's number 19. Number 19. So the two supplementaries are 19
and 42. Now look at the electronics here. Oh, look at it. Let's just look at those numbers.
We have number 12 is the lowest number tonight, which is quite unusual. Then we have number 21,
24, 28 and look at the last line there. 41, 43 and the two supplementaries, number 19 and number 42.
I think you read that quite magnificently, isn't it? Great to see those two little supplementaries
flicking away there quite happily and not interfering with any of the other numbers.
Important thing is there's some people out there who won big money tonight and good on you for
entering and giving it a go. And particularly if they're from interstate, we say well done,
farewell. We shall see you again next week. Certainly will. Okay, let's go down to the
other news that we have tonight and that is earlier on Denise presented the draw of Super 66.
The combination you required there was 0, 4, 8, 5, 6 and 2. Now what about Tats 2, Deb? Tats 2.
Tonight was number 92 and 62. 11 lucky winners, each receiving $1,042. Terrific. Well, there it
is. And don't forget next week that Division 1 prize pool, $6 million. Now quick, we've got to
be quick because they're starting to melt. We've got the cooler off. Get yourself a coupon for
next week. $6 million you shouldn't miss out. Okay, I'll move the van. See you next week. Bye bye.
No other game could be the same when your lucky numbers humble.
