Ms Brown has extensive experience in media and business and has worked across industries including education, health, property, resources, agriculture and science. She is a current Lotterywest Board member. Lotterywest thanks Professor Klinken for his exceptional contribution and looks forward to continuing this work with Ms Brown. We would also like to welcome Dr Guy Singleton who joins Lotterywest's Board for a three-year term. Dr Singleton brings significant experience in Indigenous people's development, natural resource management, political engagement, and the resources and not-for-profit sector.

With available profits from every Lotterywest lotto ticket sold going back to the WA community, last financial year we were able to return $373 million back to the WA community through our grants program. This return saw 375 Western Australian not-for-profit groups and local governments benefit from 411 direct Lotterywest grants, totaling $125 million. These were delivered alongside more than $248 million in statutory grants (Health, Arts and Sport). None of this would have been possible without the support of our Lotterywest partner retail network of over 480 small businesses, and the WA community who play Lotterywest games. Because, with a little bit of lotto, we can all add a lot of hope to everyone living in WA.

Lotterywest welcomes Michelle Tremain and June Moorhouse to the Lotterywest Board for three-year appointments. Ms Tremain and Ms Moorhouse are both highly respected in their fields, with expertise across the Business Arts, Culture and Community Services sectors. It’s fantastic to have two new members with such diverse and extensive experience join the Lotterywest Board. Ms Tremain and Ms Moorhouse will replace Mr Steve Carre OAM and Hon. Jim McGinty AM who are retiring from Lotterywest’s Board after serving for 10 and 6 years respectively. Lotterywest would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank Steve and Jim for their long-standing commitment and contribution to Lotterywest.

We were so proud to see our Powerballin’ campaign be awarded Best of Year Television Campaign, Radio Advertisement, and Integrated Campaign at the 2024 Campaign Brief Awards.  It’s no small task creating a new campaign for such an established, well-loved game, and alongside our creative agency 303 MullenLowe we were able to create a campaign that redefined what it means to win Powerball; taking the superyachts from Powerball Problems to superhumans in Powerballin’. Research showed us that our players associated winning Powerball not with “becoming rich”, but with having a pure, unprecedented freedom to live life on their own terms – to do the things that nobody would dream of doing in their regular lives. This is where the inspiration for our Powerballin’ superhumans came in. Local WA talent is a highlight of this campaign, with a custom 90-second rap from local Noongar rap artist, Flewnt, and skating expertise from 87-year-old Winnie! Whilst these three awards recognise our campaign creatively, it’s also worth celebrating that since the launch of our Powerballin' campaign, Powerball has contributed $150 million to the WA community via Lotterywest grants.

Last week our CEO Jeremy Hubble, attended the RSLWA ANZAC Day March on St Georges Tce alongside Hon Roger Cook MLA. The March was one of many services by RSLWA to remember the contribution of our ANZACs and all Australian service personnel who have served and continue to serve to defend our nation. Lest we forget. A $1.5 million Lotterywest grant supported RSLWA with more than 90 Anzac Day services around the state, including Dawn Service at Kings Park and the All-Abilities Sunset Service.
