The proceeds from Lotterywest games are
returned to the Western Australian community. Western Australia's unique
distribution of Lotterywest grant funding meets basic needs in the community as
well as enhancing the quality of life for all Western Australians. A fixed
percentage of net revenue (after prizes are paid to players) is allocated to
public hospitals, the arts and sports. The Perth International Arts Festival
and the Western Australian Film Industry receive funding each year. Lotterywest
also directly distributes proceeds from lottery sales to Western Australian
charitable and community groups, through a range of grant funding programs.

The Lotteries Commission of Western Australia, trading
as Lotterywest, has 567 retailers in its lottery network, of which 480 are
online selling the full range of lottery products. Western Australia has one of
the largest geographical jurisdictions in the world housing one of the smallest
populations. Lotterywest consistently achieves the highest sales per
capital of lottery products in Australia. Lotterywest is unique in that it is
the only lottery organisation in Australia to manage its own grant funding
programs, administered solely by its Grants and Community Development section.
