Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Small mark on title page.

The Story of the Lotteries Commission of Western Australia, now known as Lotterywest. It is a multilayered story that not only examines the importance of the Commission as a government agency that runs a highly successful lottery business; it also tells the story of Western Australia's cultural and social life for most of the 20th century and into the 21st.

"Supski's narrative is rich in capturing the ongoing conversation about the most useful outlets for its social investment that occurred inside Lotterywest, the Parliament that created it by legislation, and the broader community. Supski meticulous trawls archival material, parliamentary debates and media coverage". (Thesis Eleven 107(1) 2011)
