If you're a soccer fanatic then The Pools is the product for you. Each week, various European and Australian soccer matches are assigned a number from 1 to 38. The Pools six winning numbers are based on the results of those matches played.
So to win, all you need to do is select which of the week's matches will end with a drawn result. You can download The Pools Matchlist online at goldencasket.com or pick one up at your local Golden Casket Outlet to see each week's list of matches.
Pools draws close Saturday 7.30 pm or 6.30pm during Daylight Savings (or Saturday 2.00 pm during the Australian Soccer season).
QuickPick Entries are perfect if you are in a rush or playing lotto for the first time because your numbers are generated at random for you. QuickPick Entries are available in the following sizes:

The Pools System entries
A System Entry gives you the option to play more numbers per game for a greater chance to win. For example, to win Division 1 in The Pools, you need all six winning numbers. To increase your chances of winning, you could play a System 9 which means you get to choose nine numbers for that game rather than the usual six, giving you 84 equivalent games. Just follow these simple steps:
- Grab The Pools coupon at your local Golden Casket Outlet or select your numbers when you buy The Pools online
- Mark 7 - 20 numbers in each game panel (e.g mark 9 numbers for a System 9 Entry etc)
- Play 1 - 50* games on a QuickPick
- Play 1 - 18 games on a marked coupon
- Mark the "System/Pick" check box on your coupon or select this option when you buy The Pools online
* System 7 QuickPick Entries: minimum 2 game panels.
Pick entries
Play a Pick entry and you can guarantee yourself either one or two of the winning numbers required to win that game. You can play a Pick entry with your favourite numbers on a marked coupon or as a QuickPick.
For example, if you play a Pick 4 Entry for The Pools, you are guaranteed two out of the six winning numbers, and you only have to pick the remaining four winning numbers in that game panel.
- Grab The Pools coupon at your local Golden Casket Outlet or select your numbers when you buy The Pools online
- For a Pick 4 entry - mark 4 numbers in each game panel (gives you 2 out of the 6 winning numbers)
- For a Pick 5 entry - mark 5 numbers in each game panel (gives you 1 out of the 6 winning numbers)
- Play 1 - 50 games on a QuickPick
- Play 1 - 18 games on a marked coupon
- Mark the "System/Pick" check box on your coupon or select this option when you buy The Pools online
TopUp
When playing a Standard, System or Pick Entry, if you have marked only a few game panels and want to play a bigger entry, all you have to do
is ask for a TopUp! The remaining game panels are randomly generated for you as standard games up to 12, 18, 24, 36 or 50 games. Just let your Retailer know how many games you want to top up to or, if you are purchasing online, you can select the 'QuickPick row' or 'QuickPick un-filled games' options to Top Up a Standard, System or Pick Entry.
