GiantLottos.com - Playing Their Part For Charity

Charity and the lottery are two things that go hand-in-hand with one another. Many recent lottery winners have given away generous amounts of their winnings to charities close to their heart. For example, Canadian lottery winner Tom Crist recently gave away the whole $40 million jackpot he won to various cancer charity organisations in honour of his late wife. Last year, a EuroMillions jackpot winner who won € 72 million donated more than half of his winnings to numerous non-profit charities.

It’s not just the lottery players who are known to be charitable, the lottery organisers also get themselves involved. The UK National Lottery is renowned for their large-scale donations to charity and donate approximately £33 million to community projects each week. Additionally, a recent poll of UK Lottery jackpot winners showed that 87% of jackpot winners donated a portion of their winnings to charity. Who would have thought?

But even more surprising than lottery organisers and winners donating to charity is the fact that the people who sell you lottery tickets online also donate to charity and even get their hands dirty and directly participate with charity organisations.

Perhaps you didn’t know but GiantLottos.com also donates a portion of their profits to charity. Over the last 7 years, GiantLottos has donated a portion of the profits made through ticket sales and commissions to charities including CANSA, Royal Rehab and WWF.

"Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear." – Nelson Mandela

The late Nelson Mandela’s quote regarding the importance of children didn’t fall on deaf ears with the fund in the process of creating the “Dream House”, a children’s centre for music, art and healing. The centre will use professional therapists to teach the underprivileged children valuable cognitive and social skills. The centre also focuses on Music Therapy and Art Therapy. These health fields allow the children to use sound and art to combat the social, psychological and traumatic challenges that the children face on a daily basis.

GiantLottos is happy to work with The Bambini Fund to give children a better chance at living a successful life despite coming from often dangerous and hazardous areas. Empowering children is something that we take great pride in and the children involved with the fund often teach us valuable life lessons.

GiantLottos staff with the “The Bambini Dream” kids at a shelter for stray dogs, “The Underdog Project”

In addition to financial support for the charity, GiantLottos staff recently spent a day with the children visiting a shelter for stray dogs as part of “The Underdog Project”. The purpose of the project was to teach children kindness and compassion for our four-legged friends.

The children got an opportunity to play with both puppies and elder dogs as part of the project. We got involved by bringing canned food, toys, collars and leashes to help out these abandoned animals. The children participated by distributing the gifts and asked many questions regarding the care and maintenance of animals. The kids really enjoyed themselves and there were smiles all round, on the faces of both the children and the dogs.
