Lotterywest yesterday updated its retailers on a new relationship with OzLotteries operator Jumbo:
Working on a solution for WA
As you know, Lotterywest and Jumbo Interactive Limited have been discussing a solution that will benefit the Western Australian community, and see funds previously leaving WA through ozlotteries.com returned to our State.On Tuesday 29 September, Jumbo signed a binding Term Sheet with the intent of entering an Agreement that will provide Lotterywest with its online platform and services for an initial three-year term.
This means that existing Jumbo WA online players will be given the option to become Lotterywest players after accepting the new Terms and Conditions, and continue playing Lotto games on a platform they’re used to.
This arrangement helps maintain their current playing experience as much as possible, and will also ensure all available profits from tickets remain in WA to support our community. We’ll now work with Jumbo to transition these WA online players to the new platform by 21 December 2020. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
This is an important move in WA in terms of preserving lottery purchases from WA customers in the state. It also offers the potential for a better connection for WA lottery retailers with online.
