The Lottery Office makes it possible for Australians to play international lotteries because we purchase matching tickets into the corresponding overseas lotteries. If your Lottery Office ticket wins, we collect the overseas prize and pay you the equivalent amount in Australian dollars, after deducting any applicable taxes imposed by the foreign government on the foreign lottery winnings.

Here’s a breakdown of the tax rates for The Lottery Office’s different lotteries: 

USA Power Lotto (matched to US Powerball) and USA Mega Lotto (Matched to Mega Millions):

• Federal Tax: 30% is withheld on winnings above $600 USD for non-U.S. residents. 
• State Tax: These can vary slightly as they are set locally in the US. The state where The Lottery Office purchases the matched US lottery tickets taxes 8% on winnings of $1,500 USD and above.

European Millions (matched to EuroMillions) and European Jackpot (matched to Eurojackpot):

• These lotteries are tax-free:The winnings from this lottery are not subject to any taxes in Europe, so The Lottery Office will collect the full amount and that’s the value that you will receive. 

Italian Super Jackpot (matched to Italian SuperEnalotto):

• Tax: 20% is deducted on winnings over €500. 
• Example:If you win €1 million, €200,000 will be deducted, and you’ll receive the Australian dollar value of €800,000. 

La Primitiva:

• Federal Tax: There is a tax rate of 20% on lottery winnings exceeding the equivalent of €40,000. 

Irish Lotto: 

• This lottery is tax-free: Winnings from the Irish Lotto are tax-free.

Buying a resold ticket in an overseas lottery can be risky. Some prevent payout of jackpots from overseas players who bought resold tickets. Our players can confidently enter our own government licensed lotteries, matched to overseas lottery draws.
