55. Weather Lottery reserves the right to change the Weather Lottery City List for new events in its sole discretion. If the Weather Lottery City List is amended, notice will be posted on the Weather Lottery website.
56. It is a Client's responsibility to check the Weather Lottery website regularly and familiarise himself or herself with the City List to which his or her Weather Lottery Bets for the following weeks relate.
57. A Client can edit his or her 7 selected numbers at any time up until the Weather Lottery Event Close via the "Edit Picks" page within a Clients account. Editing picks will cancel and then re-lodge all outstanding bets with the new picks as selected and confirmed by the Client. All future bets shall be made with the new picks unless further changes of picks are made, in which case those new picks shall be used.
58. A Client may only bet on a unique 7-number combination. In other words, 2 Clients may not have a Weather Lottery Bet in respect of the same 7 numbers in the same order. This unique entry requirement means that in some instances a Client may not be able to select his or her first choice of 7 numbers.
59. If a Client wishes to pick a 7-number combination already selected by another Client, Weather Lottery will endeavour to advise the Client of the inability to proceed with the selection and Weather Lottery will not accept the selection for that combination.
60. In the event that a system fault occurs and the same numbers are selected by more than one Client in a single Weather Lottery event resulting in a tie for the same place (payout) on 7/7, all applicable tickets will be paid at face value of the ticket divided by the number of Clients tying for that placing (payout).
61. A 7-number combination is secured by a Client for the period that:
a. the numbers are stored by the Client in the Client's account; and
b. b. the Client's Weather Lottery Subscription status is Pending, Active.
62. A Client's 7-number combination will be released and available for other Clients to bet on upon the following instances:
a. the Client changes his or her numbers to a new combination; or
b. the Client's Weather Lottery Subscription is cancelled and no further outstanding bets exist in their account with that combination.
63. If the Client selects the correct value for 2 or more cities, the Client wins a payout subject to the following payout table:
# of Cities Correct
Payout
7
$1,000,000
6
$25,000
5
$2,000
4
$150
3
$15
2
$5
64. If a Client's 7-number combination is capable of being correct in more than one way, the Client will win a payout in respect of which result results in the most number of correct cities only. For example, if the Client picks the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and the numbers 1, 1-2 and 1-2-3 are correct for 1, 2 and 3 cities respectively, the payout will only be awarded in respect of 3 cities.
65. Weather Lottery reserves the right to change the Weather Lottery payout table in clause 62 in its sole discretion for new events. If the payout table is amended, notice will be posted on the Weather Lottery website.
66. Each week, Weather Lottery will select 2 alternative weather stations for every designated weather station. If:
a. designated weather station in the Weather Lottery City List does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 12 Noon in that city, Weather Lottery will use the temperature reported at 12 Noon in that city at the first alternative weather station.
b. the first alternative weather station does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 12 Noon in that city, Weather Lottery will use the temperature reported at 12 Noon in that city at the second alternative weather station.
c. the second alternative weather station does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 12 Noon in that city, Weather Lottery will reschedule the event to another day before the next week's event, in which case the temperatures will be determined with reference to the temperatures recorded at the designated weather stations for that day (using the procedure in this clause 65a to determine the temperature in a situation where a designated weather station does not report).
d. if for any reason there is a variance between the official BOM datadase observations and the BOM website, the temperatures published on the BOM website at the time of the draw will be deemed to be the correct numbers for the purposes of a Weather Lottery event.

55. Weather Lottery reserves the right to change the Weather Lottery City List for new events in its sole discretion. If the Weather Lottery City List is amended, notice will be posted on the Weather Lottery website.
56. It is a Client's responsibility to check the Weather Lottery website regularly and familiarise himself or herself with the City List to which his or her Weather Lottery Bets for the following weeks relate.
57. A Client can edit his or her 7 selected numbers at any time up until the Weather Lottery Event Close via the "Edit Picks" page within a Clients account. Editing picks will cancel and then re-lodge all outstanding bets with the new picks as selected and confirmed by the Client. All future bets shall be made with the new picks unless further changes of picks are made, in which case those new picks shall be used.
58. A Client may only bet on a unique 7-number combination. In other words, 2 Clients may not have a Weather Lottery Bet in respect of the same 7 numbers in the same order. This unique entry requirement means that in some instances a Client may not be able to select his or her first choice of 7 numbers.
59. If a Client wishes to pick a 7-number combination already selected by another Client, Weather Lottery will endeavour to advise the Client of the inability to proceed with the selection and Weather Lottery will not accept the selection for that combination.
60. In the event that a system fault occurs and the same numbers are selected by more than one Client in a single Weather Lottery event resulting in a tie for the same place (payout) on 7/7, all applicable tickets will be paid at face value of the ticket divided by the number of Clients tying for that placing (payout).
61. A 7-number combination is secured by a Client for the period that:
a. the numbers are stored by the Client in the Client's account; and
b. b. the Client's Weather Lottery Subscription status is Pending, Active.
62. A Client's 7-number combination will be released and available for other Clients to bet on upon the following instances:
a. the Client changes his or her numbers to a new combination; or
b. the Client's Weather Lottery Subscription is cancelled and no further outstanding bets exist in their account with that combination.
63. If the Client selects the correct value for 2 or more cities, the Client wins a payout subject to the following payout table:

7
$1,000,000
6
$25,000
5
$2,000
4
$150
3
$15
2
$5
64. If a Client's 7-number combination is capable of being correct in more than one way, the Client will win a payout in respect of which result results in the most number of correct cities only. For example, if the Client picks the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and the numbers 1, 1-2 and 1-2-3 are correct for 1, 2 and 3 cities respectively, the payout will only be awarded in respect of 3 cities.
65. Weather Lottery reserves the right to change the Weather Lottery payout table in clause 62 in its sole discretion for new events. If the payout table is amended, notice will be posted on the Weather Lottery website.
66. Each week, Weather Lottery will select 2 alternative weather stations for every designated weather station. If:
a. designated weather station in the Weather Lottery City List does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 12 Noon in that city, Weather Lottery will use the temperature reported at 12 Noon in that city at the first alternative weather station.
b. the first alternative weather station does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 12 Noon in that city, Weather Lottery will use the temperature reported at 12 Noon in that city at the second alternative weather station.
c. the second alternative weather station does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 12 Noon in that city, Weather Lottery will reschedule the event to another day before the next week's event, in which case the temperatures will be determined with reference to the temperatures recorded at the designated weather stations for that day (using the procedure in this clause 65a to determine the temperature in a situation where a designated weather station does not report).
d. if for any reason there is a variance between the official BOM datadase observations and the BOM website, the temperatures published on the BOM website at the time of the draw will be deemed to be the correct numbers for the purposes of a Weather Lottery event.
