When you Scratch’n’Win you also Scratch’n’Give

You sit down at your kitchen table, in your office chair, or you might even succumb to the urge to scratch that $5 scratchie before you’ve walked out the newsagent’s door. When you buy a scratchie the first thought on your mind is ‘what will I do if I win big? But have you ever thought about where the money goes that you spent on that ticket of instant delight?

The thrill of the game is sure to bring a smile to your face and so is the realisation that by spending ten, five or even two dollars you’re contributing to making Western Australia a better place. Since launching the first ever scratchie back in 1982, Scratch’n’Win has returned over $800 million to the WA community. Think about how many scratchies you could buy with that!

This huge figure has supported thousands of not-for-profit organisations and direct grants into the local community, including:

  • Improving health & wellbeing, such as the construction of WA’s first-ever outdoor parkour park and Men’s Shed.
  • Conserving our environment & cultural heritage such as King’s Park, Rottnest Island and community bushlands.
  • Bringing families and communities together through a range of events and festivals like Perth International Arts Festival (PIAF), NAIDOC Week and other multicultural events.
  • Supporting volunteer & emergency services organisations such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service WA, Volunteer Marine Rescue Services and Foodbank.

This year Scratch’n’Win turns 35 and to celebrate they’ve launched a limited edition $5 Celebrating 35 Years scratchie with their biggest second chance draw ever!

So next time you’re looking for that instant hit of gratification, take a second to think about the impact you’re helping make in your community when you make your scratchie purchase. So head to your local Lotterywest store to get your Celebrating 35 Years scratchie today and enter the biggest second chance draw here.
