Lottery tickets are legal in Saint Lucia under the National Lotteries Authority Act, which establishes the legal framework for lottery operations in the country. The Authority shall be the body responsible for operating lotteries in Saint Lucia (1). Despite this primary responsibility, Windward Islands Lottery Incorporated is authorized to conduct multi-island lottery games in Saint Lucia as approved by the Authority, demonstrating a collaborative regional approach to lottery operations.
The National Lotteries Authority has the power to enter into management contracts with any other entity authorizing that other entity to conduct lottery operations in Saint Lucia, subject to the advice of the Minister (1). Windward Islands Lottery Incorporated also has the power to enter into management contracts with any other entity authorizing that other entity to conduct multi-island lottery games in Saint Lucia with the approval of the Authority. The main law controlling betting and gaming in Saint Lucia is the Gaming Control Act, which provides comprehensive oversight of gambling activities on the island.
"The Authority shall be the body responsible for operating lotteries in Saint Lucia. Despite sub-section (1), Windward Islands Lottery Incorporated is authorised to conduct multi-island lottery games in Saint Lucia as approved by the Authority."
Saint Lucia participates in regional lottery games as part of the Windward Lotteries consortium, which includes Dominica Lotteries Commission, Grenada National Lottery Authority, St. Lucia National Lotteries Authority, and National Lotteries Authority of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (2). The Authority's mission includes serving as a regulator of lotteries and sponsoring the development of youth and sports in Saint Lucia, ensuring that lottery proceeds support community development initiatives and social programs throughout the island nation.
