Aussie Charity: Lottery Office Gives Back

The Lottery Office Charity Fund

The Lottery Office regularly gives to local Australian charities and community groups. As an Australian owned and operated company, we love to see local communities thrive! Passionate about charity, Lottery Office takes social responsibility seriously. We love paying it forward. When you play with us, not only do you get the chance to win millions, but you’re supporting Australian charities, too.

Since The Lottery Office launched in late 2018, The Lottery Office Charity Fund (otherwise known as ‘The Lottery Office Charitable and Community Benefits Fund’) has worked to bring about real change for Australians in need of a helping hand. Working with an ever-growing list of charities and community groups, the purpose of the fund is to provide relief and assistance to those that need it.

We are proud to regularly donate to great causes and love seeing what can be achieved when we work together with Australian charities.

You can even contact us to nominate a DGR Registered charity you’d like us to partner with; email us at charity@lotteryoffice.com.au and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

We’re excited to see what the future holds and look forward to continuing to make a real difference in the lives of as many people as possible.

100% of the proceeds contributed to The Lottery Office Charity Fund are donated to Australian charities and public interest funds.

We are grateful to our players and hope that they realise the good work they help us carryout when they play for purpose with The Lottery Office.

How Does The Lottery Office’s Charity Fund Work?

The Lottery Office does not operate a specific charity lottery. Rather, we operate a suite of exclusive and boutique Australian Government licensed lotteries.

Our lotteries are matched with the world’s biggest lotteries, such as the US Mega Millions (when you buy a ticket in our USA Mega Lotto) and the SuperEnalotto (when you buy a ticket in our Italian Super Jackpot).

When you buy a ticket in one of our lotteries, we purchase a ticket with the same numbers in the equivalent lottery draw overseas. If the ticket in the draw overseas wins a prize, we collect the prize, and then we pay the same amount of prize money to you. We do not charge any fees or commissions, and all winnings are free of Australian taxes.

Each time you play with us we apply a percentage to The Lottery Office Charity Fund. The fund periodically makes altruistic contributions to charities that may not normally get the funding that they need to operate.

The more you play with us, the more that gets contributed to the charity fund. The more that gets contributed to the fund, the more that can be donated to charity and the more Australians benefit.

A heartfelt thank you to all our players for your contribution to a better Australia.

Why Does the Lottery Office Donate to Charity?

As an Australian owned and operated company, our team feels a strong sense of belonging amongst our local communities. We feel a responsibility to the society in which we live. We recognise the importance of the work carried out by charities and realise how vital it is to holding the fabric of our society together. Without their efforts, a lot of people would find themselves in considerable difficulty, and we want to do our bit to help.

Often not eligible for Government funding, many charities rely on donations as their main source of income. As a result, many cannot provide the breadth of services they wish to. That’s where we come in. We aim to alleviate as much financial pressure as we can, for as many charities as we can.

Working closely with the charities we donate to, we get to see first-hand the positive impacts that can come with supporting those in need.

Our customer would be thrilled to see the change they’re helping to create when they play for purpose with us!

Aside from financial assistance, our team also participates in activities to support philanthropic organisations, such as working at the Animal Welfare League of Queensland and purchasing and delivering goods to Vinnies for them to distribute.

We are more determined than ever to continue supporting organisations that need all the help they can get and are so important to our communities Australia-wide.

Who Benefits from Our Charity Fund?

We support Australian charities of all stripes and don’t hold any bias or agenda towards who we donate to and who we don’t. The main criteria we use to decide who we donate to is simply:

• Are they a DGR Registered charity?
• Does the organization help those who need help?
• Do they need a hand to achieve their goals in the community?

As a result we’ve donated to a diverse mixture of charities, from those that fight bushfires, to those that help injured koalas, to those that assist the homeless.

We pledge to continue working with Aussie non-profit organisations whose purpose is to make a real difference in the lives of those who need it.
