Can tourists play lottery overseas?
Yes, you can purchase lottery tickets while you are holidaying overseas! You don’t need to be a resident, or a citizen, however, if you win, you must claim the prize in the country where the ticket was purchased.
Unfortunately, with Australian borders closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s hard to know when we’ll be able to plan our next holiday. Fortunately, you can play to win from the draws of overseas lotteries when you purchase a ticket from The Lottery Office.
