4 Lottery Game Rules

Each lottery game offered by roojackpot.com operates under specific rules, odds, prize structures, and draw schedules. Detailed game rules are available on individual lottery pages and must be reviewed before participation.

Official Rules: All lottery games are governed by official rules and regulations established by the respective lottery operators and Australian gaming authorities. These rules take precedence over any information presented on our website in case of discrepancy.

Draw Procedures: Lottery draws are conducted by independent third-party lottery operators using certified random number generation systems. Draw results are verified and published according to the official schedule for each lottery.

Number Selection: Players may select their own numbers or use the Quick Pick feature for random number generation. Once a ticket is purchased, number selections cannot be changed or canceled.

Odds Transparency: Winning odds for each lottery game are clearly displayed on the respective lottery pages. These odds are calculated based on the total number of possible number combinations and prize tier structures.

Prize Divisions: Most lottery games feature multiple prize divisions with varying winning requirements and prize amounts. Refer to individual game rules for specific prize division information.

Rollover Jackpots: Some lottery games feature progressive jackpots that increase when the top prize is not won. Jackpot amounts are estimates and may vary based on ticket sales and previous rollovers.

5 Ticket Purchase & Payment

Payment Methods: We accept various payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, and approved electronic payment systems. All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment gateways.

Ticket Pricing: Ticket prices are clearly displayed for each lottery game and are subject to change without notice. The price shown at the time of purchase is the price you will be charged.

Transaction Confirmation: Upon successful ticket purchase, you will receive an email confirmation containing your ticket details, numbers selected, draw date, and transaction reference number. This confirmation serves as proof of purchase.

Purchase Deadlines: Tickets must be purchased before the designated cutoff time for each draw. Cutoff times vary by lottery and are displayed on individual lottery pages. Tickets purchased after the cutoff will automatically be entered into the next available draw.

No Refunds: All ticket purchases are final and non-refundable once the transaction is confirmed. Tickets cannot be canceled, modified, or transferred after purchase.

Payment Processing Fees: Additional processing fees may apply depending on your chosen payment method. These fees will be clearly disclosed before transaction completion.

Failed Transactions: If a payment transaction fails, your ticket purchase will not be completed. We are not responsible for missed draws due to failed payment transactions. You are responsible for ensuring sufficient funds and valid payment information.

Spending Limits: We encourage responsible gaming by offering optional daily, weekly, and monthly spending limit tools. You can set and modify these limits through your account settings. We reserve the right to impose spending limits on accounts showing signs of problematic gambling behavior.

6 Prize Claims & Winner Verification

Winner Notification: Winners will be notified via email and/or SMS to the contact information associated with their account. It is your responsibility to maintain current contact information and check for winner notifications regularly.

Claim Period: Prizes must be claimed within the specified timeframe established by the respective lottery operator, typically between 90 days to 12 months from the draw date. Unclaimed prizes after the deadline expire and are forfeited.

Identity Verification: Before prize distribution, winners must complete identity verification by providing valid government-issued photo identification and proof of residence. Additional verification may be required for large prize amounts.

Small Prize Payments: Prizes below a certain threshold (typically AU$1,000) are automatically credited to your account balance and can be withdrawn or used for future ticket purchases.

Large Prize Payments: Prizes above the automatic credit threshold require manual claim procedures. Winners must contact our prize claims department and may be required to visit an authorized claim center for prize collection.

Prize Payment Methods: Prizes can be paid via direct bank transfer, check, or in-person collection at authorized claim centers, depending on the prize amount and winner preference.

Prize Disputes: In the event of a prize dispute, the official lottery operator's records and draw results are final and binding. We will cooperate with official investigations but are not responsible for disputes arising from operator decisions.

Shared Prizes: If multiple winning tickets are sold for a prize division, the prize amount is divided equally among all winning tickets. This is particularly common for jackpot prizes.

7 Winner Obligations & Publicity

Tax Obligations: Winners are solely responsible for any and all taxes, levies, or other financial obligations arising from lottery prizes. We recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional regarding your tax obligations.

Tax Reporting: For prizes above specified thresholds, winners may be required to provide tax identification information and complete tax reporting forms in accordance with Australian tax law.

Publicity Rights: By accepting a prize, winners consent to the use of their name, photograph, hometown, and prize amount for promotional and publicity purposes by roojackpot.com and lottery operators, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

Privacy Protection: While winners may be required to participate in certain publicity activities, we respect your privacy and will not disclose personal information beyond what is necessary for promotional purposes and legal compliance.

Prize Acceptance: Prizes must be accepted as awarded and cannot be substituted, transferred, or exchanged for cash or other prizes except at the discretion of the lottery operator.

Legal Compliance: Winners must comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding prize acceptance, including but not limited to tax laws, import regulations, and financial disclosure requirements.
