Supporting a Special Day for Special Kids: The Lottery Office Donates to Lions Medical Research Foundation

At The Lottery Office, we believe in doing more than just creating big winners—we believe in creating big-hearted impact, too. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a $5,000 donation to the Lions Medical Research Foundation (LMRF) in support of a truly special cause and to allow 50 children to attend the Special Children’s Big Day Out.

A Red-Carpet Experience for Brave Kids

This annual event, hosted by LMRF, is more than just a day out—it’s a red-carpet experience designed exclusively for local special needs, cancer, and terminally ill children in the Northern Territory. Held at local cinemas or clubs, the event gives these incredible kids the chance to enjoy a day of entertainment, and excitement—something many of them don’t often get to experience due to their health challenges.

More Than Just a Day Out

For children battling illness or navigating life with additional needs, childhood can be anything but carefree. Medical appointments, hospital stays, and daily challenges can make it hard to enjoy the simple things that many of us take for granted. The Special Children’s Big Day Out gives them the opportunity to be just that—kids. To laugh, to relax, and to feel like the stars they are.

Funds raised through the Special Children’s Big Day Out also go towards supporting vital medical research and maintaining LMRF’s Free Mobile Cancer Screening Unit, which travels throughout the NT offering potentially lifesaving screening services—all run by volunteers.

We may be best known for offering access to the world’s biggest lotteries, but we’re just as passionate about making a real impact here at home. Our donation helps LMRF bring this memorable day to more children and supports their mission of better health outcomes through early detection and research.

To the volunteers, organisers, and most importantly—the kids—we’re honoured to be part of something so special.
