Lotteries in Australia include various lottery related products licensed by Australian lottery companies. Lotteries operators are licensed at a state or territory level, and include both state government-owned, not-for-profit and private sector companies. Most major Lotteries have now moved into the online marketplace. As of February 2015, the major players in the lotteries industry include: * Tatts Group Limited, which operates under the "Tatts" brand in Victoria, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. It also manages Queensland's Golden Casket Lottery Corporation (which it took over from the Queensland government in 2007〔Golden Casket Lottery Corporation (2007). (Golden Casket corporate information ). Accessed on 29 August 2008.〕), New South Wales Lotteries in NSW and the ACT〔New South Wales Government (2 March 2010). (Treasurer Roozendaal: NSW Lotteries sale – more than $1 billion in proceeds delivered to NSW taxpayers ). Media release. Accessed on 17 March 2010.〕 and South Australian Lotteries in South Australia and * Intralot Australia, which operates under "Intralot" in Tasmania; * The publicly listed Jumbo Interactive, operating online as Ozlotteries. * The privately owned company Netlotto, which sells online via the (www.netlotto.com.au website ) State government-owned corporations were once a major sector in the industry. However, with Tatts taking over operation of several state-owned lotteries (though the states still retain legal ownership), the only state owned-and-operated lottery in Australia is Lotterywest in Western Australia. Although the organisations are predominantly state-based, Australia has a number of national lottery games. Currently, Tattersall's and the state-owned lotteries operate as a bloc to jointly conduct the national games, pooling their entries and winnings. For example, Tattersall's administers the Saturday Lotto (known as ''Tattslotto'' in its jurisdictions), Oz Lotto and Powerball games on behalf of the bloc; similarly, South Australian Lotteries operate the Australian Soccer Pools on behalf of the other operators. The major operators also market lottery games traditionally running in their own jurisdiction, however recently some of these have become "multi-state" games, if not national. Australian lotteries are subject to many regulations, which generally vary by state. The minimum age to purchase lottery products is 18 in all states except for Western Australia, where the age is lowered to 16.〔Lotterywest Game Rules () Accessed 24 August 2015〕 ==Lotto== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lotteries in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
