Established in 1933 as the Lotteries Commission, we are the official state lottery for Western Australia. Unlike any other Australian lottery, we not only sell lottery games, we also distribute the profits from our games directly to the Western Australian community.

All the profits from our games go back to the Western Australian community. Under our legislation, Western Australia's public hospitals, sports groups and arts organisations receive a set percentage of our lottery sales each year. We also make hundreds of Lotterywest grants each year to community groups and local government authorities.
