Part 1 — Formula applicable up to and including draw 3441 on 12 July 2014

[Heading inserted in Gazette 6 May 2014 p. 1386.]

The unit cost of entering a Saturday lotto draw is made up of a subscription of 60 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 $0.60) 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 for one week

[25 games @ $0.60 each]                      =         $15.00

9% of subscription [.09 x $15.00]          =         $1.35

Total cost of entry = $16.35

The total cost of entry for a System 8 entry for a single Saturday lotto draw is calculated as follows —

Subscription for one week

[28 games @ $0.60 each]                      =         $16.80

Subscription for one week

[6 x 84 games @ $0.60 each]                =         $302.40

9% of subscription [.09 x $302.40]        =         $27.216

Rounded using “bankers rounding”        =         $27.20

Total cost of entry = $329.60

The total cost of entry for a Slikpik 25 entry spanning 10 weeks of Saturday lotto is calculated as follows —

Subscription for one week

[25 games @ $0.60 each]                      =         $15.00

9% of subscription [.09 x $15.00]          =         $1.35

Total cost of entry for one week            =         $16.35

Total cost of entry for 10 weeks = $163.50

where —

G =    No. of games entered in a draw

W     =    No. of weeks the entry spans

Subscription for one week

[25 games @ $0.65 each]                      =         $16.25

9% of subscription [.09 x $16.25]          =         $1.462
