AUSTRALIAN LOTTERIES
Government revenue in two Australian States benefits substantially from State-controlled lotteries. Queensland has its Golden Casket Art Union, and the profits during 1942-43 were £369,000. Ticket sales realised £1,514.000, and prize money distributed totalled £967,000. The Government received £75,000 in tax and stamp duty. Since 1920 nearly £6,000,000 has been spent on hospitals and motherhood and child welfare services, and other sums from special lotteries have gone to patriotic funds. New South Wales has lotteries, too. In 1942-43 there were 95. a record, and State funds received £694,000.
