There are many authentic lotteries you can play in Australia. These lotteries are operated by licensed vendors, maintained by state and/or national authorities. Lets Digg inside some of the most-sought options:
The Lott (Tattersalls) Australia
The Lott is Australia’s largest and most well-known lottery operator, managing lotteries for Queensland (QLD), New South Wales (NSW), the Australian Capital Territory (ACT),Victoria(VIC) and Tasmania(TAS). All those lotteries can be played online on the official website of Lott and their mobile app.
Australian national lotto games
Oz Lotto: A national lottery game, and of course it is those big jackpot odds that lure us in. It draws on Tuesday nights.
Biggest lottery in Australia
The biggest lottery is Powerball, which has prizes in the hundred million dollar range regularly. Draws are on Thursdays.
Lotterywest
This is the state lottery provider for Western Australia. Like The Lott, Lotterywest offers various draw games, and all of them can be played online through their official site or app. Lotterywest also contributes heavily to community projects across the state.
- Games Available:

- Oz Lotto: Same as offered by The Lott, but specific to Western Australian players.
- Powerball: Also offered in Western Australia with a similar format.

Lucky Lotteries
Operated by The Lott, Lucky Lotteries offers two types of draws:
- Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot. These games have a unique raffle-style format with fixed numbers of tickets per draw, and there are both smaller instant cash prizes and large rolling jackpots.
Health Lottery
The Australian Health Lottery is available online and is dedicated to raising funds for health-related causes. While not as big as Powerball or Oz Lotto, it is a smaller game where players contribute to charity as part of their participation.
International Lotteries
Apart from these domestic lotteries, New Zealand and Australians can also participate in international lotteries via online services. These include platforms like The Lotter and Giant Lottos, where they can enter draws for global games such as US Powerball, EuroMillions, and Mega Millions. However, it’s important to use trusted and reputable lottery services when entering these games.
