Summary of lotteries in Australia
Australia is one of the most beautiful places in the world with so many tourist attractions in the land. Besides the beauty of the land, Australians are lucky enough to have one of the best lotteries in the world. When people think about lotto, they think about it at an individual level where they get to win huge jackpots which will change their lives for the better, while lotto has helped many Australians to get rich overnight, it has also played an immense role in the society because proceeds from the lottery are used in various projects which are beneficial to the society.
Lottery in Australia has come a long way and the first lotteries in Australia were illegal because lottery had not been legalised at the time, however the situation was soon to change because state governments realised that lotteries could actually bring in some form of development to the Australian community.
The first lottery to be approved by the Australian government was the Grand Lottery which was approved in the 1890’s and this was due to the collapse of the Bank of Van Diemen’s Land and indeed the lottery came in handy as proceeds were used to help the cash straped state. After the Grand Lottery proved to be a success, more and more states began authorising lotteries and that is how the Australian lottery industry grew to what it is today.
Australia is a lottery-crazy nation and they have an opportunity to play a lottery almost every day of the week except for Fridays and Sundays only. What is good about most Australian lotteries is the fact that the jackpots are usually big and this article looks at each individual lottery draw.
