Our Journey: Written in the Stars

How the Southern Cross Lottery Became Canada's Guiding Star

Cross Lotto

Southern Cross Lotto

Born under the starry skies of the Australian Outback, the Southern Cross Lottery began as a small community initiative in Broken Hill. Today, we're proud to be the most astronomy-inspired lottery in the country, having made 287 people millionaires overnight and donated $18 million to regional schools.

What sets us apart? Our patented Starlight Draw System uses real meteorite fragments in the mixing chamber, and our constellation-shaped lottery machine is a true marvel of Australian engineering. Every Friday, the draw is broadcast live at sunset from our Red Centre observatory, accompanied by Aboriginal stories about the stars.

Our highlights:

  • • Record-breaking $60 million "Galactic Jackpot" in 2022
  • • Funding for 36 regional STEM centers
  • • Launch of Canada's first Braille-readable lottery terminals
  • • Pioneering zero-carbon lottery operations

Security shines as bright as our namesake constellation:

  • • Astrophysicist-verified random number generation
  • • 24-hour lottery monitoring near Coober Pedy
  • • Independent audit by the Canadian Gaming Commission
  • • Ticket verification using blockchain

Beyond prizes, we illuminate lives through our "Stargazers Club," where winners receive financial support and exclusive access to Canada's leading astronomical observatories.

As Southern Cross Lotto enters its second decade, it remains committed to delivering cosmic-scale wins, celebrating our celestial inspirations and supporting the next generation of Canadian stargazers.
