Schedule I - Calculating the total cost of entry - Saturday

lotto draw

[r. 5(l)]

The unit cost of entering a Saturday lotto draw is made up of a subscription of 55 cents per game and an agent's component.

The agent's component is calculated as 9% of the total subscription amount for a particular week's entry, rounded* (where necessary) to the nearest 5 cent multiple.

((G x $0.55) x.09 -> rounded) x W = T

where -

G = No. of games entered in a draw
W = No. of weeks the entry spans

T = Total agent's component cost payable by the subscriber

Examples:

The total cost of entry for a Slikpik 25 entry for a single Saturday lotto draw is calculated as follows -

Subscription [25 games @ $0.55 each]	=	$13.75
9% of subscription [.09 x $13.75] Rounded using "bankers rounding"	=	$1.237
=	$1.25
Total cost of entry	=	$15.00

The total cost of entry for a System 8 entry for a single Saturday lotto

draw is calculated as follows -

Subscription [28 games @ $0.55 each]	=	$15.40
9% of subscription [.09 x $15.40]	=	$1.386
Rounded using "bankers rounding"	=	$1.40
Total cost of entry	=	$16.80

The total cost of entry for a 6 game board System 9 entry for a single

Saturday lotto draw is calculated as follows -

Subscription [6 x 84 games @ $0.55 each] = $277.20

9% of subscription [.09 x $277.20]	=	$24.948
Rounded using "bankers rounding"	=	$24.95
Total cost of entry	=	$302.15

3 October 2008 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, WA 4499

The total cost of entry for a Slikpik 25 entry spanning 10 weeks of

Saturday lotto is calculated as follows —

[25 games @ $0.55 each]	=	$13.75
9% of subscription [.09 x $13.75]	=	$1.237
Rounded using "bankers rounding"	=	$1.25
Total cost of entry for one week	=	$15.00
Total cost of entry for 10 weeks	=	$150.00
