In WA, a fair chunk goes to charity, other the Gov.

I don't know if we have any privately owned "Lotto's" like overseas.

Some good does come out of it.

My tickets a winner.....right until I scan it, then it's just expensive note paper

Fixed that for you

Lotteries are an investment vehicle for people who can't do maths!

However, the company started a serious lottery when Adams moved to Hobart in 1895 a move supported by the Tasmanian Government. He set up his first operation there and eventually the company grew/developed in other states.

In 2010, Tatts purchased NSW Lotteries from the Government of New South Wales. In 2012, Tatts also purchased the South Australian Lotteries Commission from the Government of South Australia.

and

Tatts Group's UNiTAB arm owns the statewide Totalizator Agency Board (TAB's) agencies in Queensland, South Australia, and the Northern Territory

hahah I can do the math and never used to enter...
But the thought of all my mates winning with me left out (they do a group thing)
