The Lottery Corporation shares slide as Q4 revenue falls short of expectations

Lotto

The Lottery Corporation reported a 5.6% decrease in revenue for the first half of 2025, with EBITDA down by 7.4% and net profit after tax falling 19.2% compared to the previous year.

Earnings per share declined by 19.4% to 7.9 cents, while the interim dividend remained at 8.0 cents per share, fully franked.

The company introduced a new Friday Weekday Windfall draw, generating over $50 million in incremental turnover. Plans for a Saturday Lotto game change are on track for May 2025, and a Powerball change is scheduled for FY26. Growth in active registered customers and digital share was driven by investments in marketing and customer experience.

The results reflect challenges in the market, but also the corporation’s commitment to engage stakeholders through dividend offerings and reinvestment opportunities.
