Each week, Lotterywest gives Western Australians the chance to dream through our lottery games - while raising funds that support the community. For most, playing is fun and low risk, however a small number may find that gambling is having a negative impact on their life.

It's important to know that you must be 16 years or older to purchase any Lotterywest games. Selling lottery tickets to anyone under 16 is against the law and may result in penalties. Retailers are also not permitted to pay prizes to minors or allow them to collect winnings on behalf of adults.
