Lottery is older than you think

Since these times, lotteries have come a long way. Now lotteries are available to play in nearly all countries of the world and you can play to win from draws of the biggest of these from the comfort of your own home.

In the UK, the EuroMillions lottery supports sports, arts, heritage, and health education, the environment and charitable causes.
At The Lottery Office we give a percentage of the purchase price of each of our tickets sold to The Lottery Office Charitable and Community Benefits Fund. This fund donates to a variety of charities and community groups including Lifeline, The Smith Family, St. Vincent De Paul, The NSW Rural Fire Service, The Salvation Army and more.
