The increase in OzLotto and Powerball sales in 2018-19 was attributable to several factors including:
There was a game change to Powerball in April 2018.
The jackpots for OzLotto and Powerball during 2018-19 were higher than in previous years leading to sales growth
High jackpots can impact on sales in other products, such as Saturday Lotto
