History of Lottery in Australia
The New South Wales government established its first official lottery in 1850 to generate funds for public infrastructure development. During the late 19th century and early 20th century states adopted lotteries as a popular method to fund schools hospitals and infrastructure projects. The modern Oz Lotto started on February 26, 1994 and Powerball launched in 1996 to create the present multi-state jackpot game structure.
