HOW AUSTRALIANS CAN LEGALLY PARTICIPATE IN INTERNATIONAL LOTTERIES

Playing is fun and easy with The Lottery Office matched lottery tickets. Simply select the matched lottery you’d like to play and then purchase safely in the knowledge that you’ll be paid the same amount as the jackpot if you win (less any local government taxes).

When you place an order with us, you purchase games in our Government approved lotteries, e.g., USA Power Lotto. After receiving your order, we buy a matching ticket in the overseas lottery, e.g., US Powerball. Once safely secured the matching ticket, we then issue you a Lottery Office ticket.
