At a time when many are playing out of habit or by bait of gain, many initiatives are emerging to prove that play and generosity are not necessarily disconnected. From USA to USA, let's discover how Money games can help do good around us. A rich idea certainly!
A lottery to offer free meals to the poorest
Most often when we play to the lottery, we have the feeling of fueling the coffers of a game operator and therefore contributing to a business where money flows. However, players do not really experience regrets to spend their money in this way, the pleasure of playing and the dream of a big gain justifying this choice alone. Also, since the pleasure of play is also important, many associations around the world organize lotteries provided with pretty lots, the profits used to finance the operation of the entity and especially the actions they carry out.
For players, this is a good opportunity to "try their luck" while being generous and this argument seems to work. We are however far from Mega Jackpots of Euromillions or Powerball...
In USA, a religious community launched a great lottery and its 100 volunteers sold $ 12 million in tickets. A little more than half of this amount was redistributed to the players and the remaining $ 5 million was used to help the poorest. Indeed, within the church, a real cuisine worthy of the best reception centers has been installed and it allows daily to prepare free meals for thousands of people in need. A successful initiative ...
Games of money with a real social issue
If the lottery organized by this religious community is undoubtedly the best success of the genre, it is clear that major initiatives combining game and generosity are multiplying in the four corners of the globe.
Not content with supporting some 800 associations annually, the Belgian national lottery implemented during the month of December 2017 an operation called "Christmas socks". Each player was given, in addition to his lottery ticket, a token to insert in one of the 15 funds available in a partner store, each representing an association. At the end of the draw, in addition to redistributing more than 30% of charities, the Belgian national lottery offered the association acclaimed by players a promotional spot presenting its different actions and inviting the general public to do donations.

But in USA too, beautiful initiatives exist. Proof of this is, until April 13, 2018, those who wish have the possibility of buying a lottery ticket at $ 5 to try to win "La Dissident", a unique guitar, fruit of the know-how of 20 craftsmen.
Supported by several artists and in particular by Mathieu Chédid, this charity raffle does not only offer the possibility of winning an exceptional guitar. Indeed, the carriers of this project called "La Dissident" wanted all the profits to be donated to a work whose mission is to fight against deforestation and therefore to contribute to the preservation of our planet. All in all logical for lovers of authentic wooden guitars…
These examples prove in any case that lotteries can also have a real social dimension and therefore break the image of the player centered on himself.
