The definition is deliberately wide so as to include electronic tickets and other items that may not be in the traditional paper format. The terms “sale”, “supply” and “purchase” are defined here in relation to lottery tickets. Requirements as to the form and content of a lottery ticket are set out in section 99 (in respect of licensed lotteries) and Schedule 11 (in respect of exempt lotteries).
