Delivery of Prizes

45. The Lottery is run primarily within, but is not exclusive to, Western Australia. Prize winners may be required to provide an address in the Perth metropolitan area for local delivery, make alternative arrangements to collect the prize(s), or communicate directly with the supplier of the prize(s).

As there are usually multiple options for the prize winner, MSWA makes no warrant that any vehicle(s) will be readily and immediately available within Western Australia. Participants acknowledge and agree that MSWA will only begin to procure any vehicle after the prize winner has selected it. Participants acknowledge that there may be delays in the physical arrival of the car into Western Australia due to manufacture, international shipping, and logistical constraints. However, upon the prize winner’s selection of the vehicle, MSWA will enter into a contract for the sale of the vehicle with a third-party supplier and arrange for the selected vehicle’s delivery within Western Australia (“Vehicle Contract”). The Vehicle Contract will demonstrate that the prize winner is entitled to receive the vehicle. MSWA will ensure that the Vehicle Contract is delivered to the prize winner within 30 days of the end of the Lottery. Participants acknowledge and agree that the prize of a “selected vehicle” means the delivery of the Vehicle Contract if the prize winner chooses a vehicle rather than its cash equivalent.
Donation of Unwanted Prizes
