"Fraudulent"

Wow, a scam operating out in the open. You can win prize money but can never withdraw it, only use it to play more tickets. For example, I had a win of $81.00. When I try to withdraw the winnings it says “insufficient funds” even when the balance says $81.50.
There is a note that says “Funds that have been deposited via BPay, Direct Deposit (EFT), PayPal, Visa card or Mastercard cannot be withdrawn to bank accounts.” Okay, so that covers every payment method possible…
Simply have a look at the responses to these reviews below to get a sense of how they operate - they don’t care. Not sure how The Lott has managed to avoid being investigated by the ACCC.

"Cannot log into my account anymore thanks to those stupid puzzles"

I'm on the autism spectrum and I struggle a lot to process various kinds of information. So I keep trying and trying to solve these stupid puzzles to log into my account and I can't! I guess they don't want me to spend money and buy a ticket then. Who's the genius who decided to make it so difficult and prevent people form being able to access their account?? I could understand one CAPTCHA as a security measure, but having to complete 5-10 puzzles? Ridiculous

"Was double charged and blamed for your technical incompetence"

When I was making a ticket purchase and pressed submit to process the payment, the screen turned to white and froze. However, the purchase went through yet theLott charged me $26.95 twice. It was a technical fault. I noticed the double charge later when going through my bank transactions, and notified the bank, which raised an incident and eventually I had one of the double charges re-imbursed. A few weeks later when I tried to log into theLott, they had blocked my account. I called them up and their tech support was extremely rude and said I owe them $26.95 for the reimbursement or they won't reactivate the account. I told them I already paid them for the one ticket that I purchased, they had no right to double charge me as I didn't purchase 2 tickets, and was double charged, where the transaction was processed on 28/10/23 at 07:58:31 and then less than a second later, again at 07:58:42. He was so nasty and unprofessional about it that I just told your tech support guy - your company has lost a customer and hung up on him. Tech guy - please fix your bugs you slacker. If you don't know how to, get someone else to fix it instead of blaming the customer.

"They Play The Sucker"

Always those with the least money, desperate in desperate times, get sucked into The Lott's promises of big wins. I am sure their draws are legitimate and monitored fairly as they don't need to cheat on players, it's already done so by the extra balls and greater odds against you. Lotto used to be 6 from 40. Adding five more balls greatly reduced your chances of winning a major prize, you'd have to spend way more to get the coverage in whatever system or wheel you use. And their prices have increased. I remember when a system 9 was $20. And Sat lotto is even more jacked up in cost. You really do need to be lucky. Powerball the same. There is no excuse for jacking up the cost of Saturday Lotto just because the payout is better, which inevitably results in many lower payouts because every man and his dog is playing. I appreciate that funds go to kids hospitals et al, but why not the arts? British Lotteries fund major arts and consequently their culture is richer for it. The Lott are just greedy and much of their scaping from poor losers like us go to their corporate execs and buddies. We are considering moving to New Zealand and there the NZ Lotto is 6 from 40, not 45. And add a Powerball to their Lotto if you wish. Sure the prizes aren't as high as you would get here, but a better chance at winning *something* more often is better than the little chance you have in Australia. Who needs 80 million? Or 20 million? I'd be happy with a 1 mil win to pay off a few bills. This accumulation of odds against you to award a single individual a huge sum of money is just adding to the one percenters. It's far better in our society to spread more smaller wins to more people who need it, instead of filling the coffers of execs and their various sprogging associates who beat their chests when a single individual wins a mega prize that will by all historic research usually go to waste. If you win 'too much', then give to charity.  For every 80m winner, I bet there are 80 people who would put their hands up just for a million. Play The Lott and your chances are slim pickin's; these vampires just want to keep sucking your dollar til you are too old to know what to do with money. My advice? Look for games with less balls. Would be great if we had Fantasy 5, much better odds. But no,The Lott want to jack you off for as much of your hard-earned bux as they can. Btw, stay away from those international lottery vendors, you have no control.

"Don't play with them, you'll lose everything!!!"

It's been almost two weeks since I submitted documents for ID verification. they are currently still unverified.
i'm still receiving sms prompting me to verify my identity as if I had submitted nothing at all, and my account is likely to be suspended in few days

Edit 05/11/23
They suspended my profile even after i gave them my id and proof of adress.
I spent a lot of money in scratchy, and now i've lost every single 2nd chance i had!!!
I'll never spend 1$, you robbed me of everything!!!
