A reality check, kindly delivered

The odds, told straight.

Every figure below is the actual Division 1 probability for that game, all ten we cover, Australian and international: no rounding down, no soft-pedalling. Here's what those numbers actually feel like, next to a few other famously unlikely things.

Every jackpot, and how long you have

All ten games on one page, sorted by whichever draw closes first. Jackpots are the figures the operators advertise. The countdowns are worked out in your browser from each game's published schedule, so they stay right to the minute even if our nightly job misses a night.

What "closes" means. For the Australian games this is the 7:30pm draw close published by The Lott. It is not your last chance to buy: online and in some outlets sales can stop up to three hours earlier, and it varies by retailer. Treat the clock as when the draw shuts, not as a deadline to run at. Draws are conducted about an hour later, around 8:30pm, and shown on 7TWO.

How these countdowns work

Nothing on this page stores a countdown. A stored one is stale the moment it is written, and wrong to the minute from the start. What is stored is each game's weekly schedule: which days it closes, and at what time in Australian eastern time. The clock is worked out from that every time the page loads, and again every minute while it is open.

Australian eastern time moves between UTC+10 and UTC+11 with daylight saving, and the overseas games shift independently of that, so the offset is derived from the date rather than assumed. Seconds only appear in the last hour before a draw closes, where they are the difference between making it and not.

Where a game's close schedule is not published, the card says so instead of showing a clock we cannot stand behind, and it sorts to the end. A wrong clock is worse than no clock.
