When you purchase a ticket for your favourite lottery games with The Lott, you’ve done more than play for the chance to win a jackpot prize. You’ve contributed to supporting your local community.
For over 100 years Australian lottery proceeds have funded important community services and infrastructure, including children's hospitals, iconic landmarks, and disaster recovery aid. It's a legacy we're proud to continue with lasting sponsorships, charitable donations, and state lottery taxes. Today, every ticket helps fund essential projects that contribute to a brighter future for all Australians.
Along with our partners and network of local businesses, you play a vital role in fostering meaningful change. Together, we can continue to build a stronger, more vibrant community for everyone. And that's a Lott more to play for.
For more than a century, we’ve supported important health initiatives, like funding the construction of new hospitals and helping to deliver vital medical equipment. We are proud to continue this tradition today and into the future.
