Step 1: Check Your Ticket

The Lottery Office will always notify you via email if you’ve won a prize. However, you can also check your results any time by logging into your account and reviewing the “My Draws” section. If you see a winning ticket, congratulations!

Step 2: Prize Payment Methods

Any winnings below $10,000 AUD are credited directly into your Lottery Office account. From there, you can choose to withdraw the funds or use them to purchase more tickets.

For larger prizes exceeding $10,000, The Lottery Office contacts winners directly to discuss payout options, you can hear a phone call to one of our winners here. Payout options may include:

• Bank transfer (most common option)
• Alternative secure payment methods (depending on the prize amount and winner’s location)

Step 3: Withdraw Your Winnings

To withdraw your prize money:

1. Log into your Lottery Office account.
2. Navigate to the “Withdraw Funds” section.
3. Select your preferred withdrawal method and follow the prompts.
4. The Lottery Office processes withdrawals promptly, though bank transfer times may vary.

Step 4: Verification Process

For significant winnings, The Lottery Office may require identity verification to ensure security. This typically involves providing:

• A valid photo ID (passport, driver’s license, etc.)
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement)

As a government licensed operator, we are required to maintain secure processes such as these.

This step helps prevent fraud and ensures the right person receives the winnings.
