New South Wales Lotteries Act 1990 New South Wales Lotteries (General) Amendment (Powerball) Regulation 1996 (1996-158) [GG No 55 of 3.5.1996] (NSW)
1996 No 158
New South Wales
New South Wales Lotteries (General)
Amendment (Powerball) Regulation
1996
under the
New South Wales Lotteries Act 1990
His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the New South Wales Lotteries Act 1990.
J Richard Face
Minister for Gaming and Racing
Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to authorise NSW Lotteries to conduct the game of Powerball. Powerball is a national game which will be conducted in conjunction with other States and Territories. Prizes are awarded on the basis of the selection of 5 numbers- from one group of numbers and a single number from a second group of numbers.
The game is to be conducted under similar arrangements applying to games of lotto or keno. The game, to the extent that it is considered to be a public lottery, does not comply with the general regulations under the New South Wales Lotteries Act 1990 relating to draw lotteries. The Regulation therefore excludes those general regulations and applies provisions similar to games of lotto and keno.
The Regulation is made under section 42 of the New South Wales Lotteries
Act 1990.
