The Lott, also known as TattsLotto in some regions, is a national lottery game played across Australia. Introduced in 1980 by Lotteries Commission of New South Wales (now known as NSW Lottery Corporation), it has undergone several format changes over the years to keep up with evolving player preferences and technological advancements.
History
The Lott’s precursor was Tatts Group, a company that operated lotteries in Victoria, Tasmania, Northern Territory, Queensland, Australian Capital Territory, https://thelott.net.nz/ and New South Wales. In 1980, Lotteries Commission of NSW launched Australia Lottery (also known as ‘Tatts’), which later became the foundation for The Lott.
Growth
In January 2019, Tattersall’s Group merged with other state-based lotteries to form a new national entity called The Lott. This move aimed at creating a single platform for participating in various lottery games across Australia, simplifying player experiences and increasing ticket sales through shared marketing efforts.
