Do you pay tax on lottery prizes?

Last updated 25 September 2026 (AEST) · 8 open draws · Method: definition written by our editors; the open-draw table is read from each operator's published draw pages on every sync.

In Australia, a prize won in a game of chance such as a charity lottery is generally not treated as taxable income.

What you do with the prize afterwards can have tax consequences, for example rent earned from the house, interest on cash, or selling the property later. Rules differ by situation, so speak to an accountant before you decide what to do with a large prize.

Winning is generally not taxable income in Australia, but later rent, interest or a sale can be. Get advice from a registered tax agent. Figures come from each operator's own published draw pages, recorded at the time we last fetched them. Charity lotteries are games of chance regulated under state gaming licences.
