Australian taxation law states that lottery prize winnings are not taxable.

Although MSWA is a registered charity, lottery tickets are not considered a tax-deductible donation. 

MSWA has a Privacy Policy which can be reviewed on the MSWA website at https://mswalottery.com.au/privacy-policy. All credit card details and transactions are conducted in line with current legislation. MSWA does not sell or share any personal data with any other parties.

The only winning tickets that are returned to the draw are the Early Bird prize winning tickets. We believe that this provides greater fairness and allows more people to win prizes in the lottery. This approach is approved by the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor.

MSWA are not authorised to process ticket refunds without written approval from the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor, a process which may take several weeks. Additionally, refunds cannot be issued after the prize draws have closed due to the commencement of draw processing.

Changing, adding, or removing a name from one of our lottery tickets is not permitted. This is to ensure that the person (or people) who purchased the ticket are eligible to claim their prize.
In order to award any major prizes in our lotteries, MSWA are required to sight identification proving that the winning name(s) match the name(s) on the ticket. If a name has been changed or removed, it can lead to legal complications regarding who has the rightful claim to the prize.
Please note that if you win a prize and wish to share it with someone else, you are welcome to do so. Their name does not need to be on the ticket, as distributing any shared winnings will be your responsibility.
If you have purchased a ticket and still need to change, add, or remove a name, the best approach is to request a refund for your original ticket and purchase a new one. Any new tickets purchased will have a different ticket number from the original. Please note that requests for ticket refunds require written approval from the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor. This process may take a number of weeks.
