The State Lottery Office was founded in 1931 and in
the intervening period the Corporation has acquired a reputation for
honesty, integrity and responsibility in marketing, managing and
conducting lotteries in New South Wales and the Australian Capital
Territory.
Revenue from the sale of lotteries products assists the Government of the day to provide a range of services to the New South Wales community. Since our inception over 75 years ago, we have helped to realise the dreams of many winners and raised billions of dollars.
NSW Lotteries Corporation - as we have been known since our Corporatisation on 1 January 1997 - is owned by the NSW Government and licensed to conduct the games of Lotto and Lotto Strike, OZ Lotto, Powerball, Instant Scratchies, Lucky Lotteries, and 6 From 38 Pools through a network of 1600 small businesses throughout NSW and the ACT.
The New South Wales community benefits significantly from the sale of our
products with almost one third of player investment returned to the
Government each year. Our total payments to Government amounted to
almost $376 million in 2004/2005 and assists in the provision of a
wide range of community services. More than 60% of player investments in
lotteries is returned as prizes, which is one of the highest returns for
lotteries games in the world.
VISION:
We will continue to be the leading lottery operator in Australia.
MISSION:
We contribute to the community of NSW by maximising the return
to Government through providing quality lottery products and services.
