How do I collect my winnings?
If you are lucky enough to win a jackpot (a major prize) then you may have to collect your winnings in person from the official lottery operator. If this is the case theLotter Australia will help you work out what to do and may even fly you to collect your winnings. They will also provide you with the original ticket.
Other winnings of secondary prize pools (not the jackpot or division one) can usually be transferred to your account which you can then choose to withdraw. Once again, if you win a prize theLotter customer service team will help you claim your winnings.
Taxes can apply to some International lottery winnings, and are subject to the tax system of the country where the lottery is held. The good thing about playing Australian lotteries is that all winnings are tax free.
The majority of lotteries allow you to collect your winnings anonymously, including Australian draws, however if you are worried about what is disclosed contact theLotter’s customer service team and they can help you.
