Canadian Charitable Lotteries
“Mega” lotteries and raffles in Canada are an important tool used by hospital foundations and other charitable organizations to raise large amounts of money to support their causes. All of them have web sites, and in some markets, the competition to sell tickets is fierce. After all, only so many people out there are willing to support their local hospitals by purchasing a lottery ticket.
One site we’ve always used is Dream Lottery Canada, which purports to list all the active charitable lotteries in Canada. I cannot say for sure whether the claim is true, but it certainly lists most of them. I noticed recently that they changed the format of their site, and I have to say I think it looks pretty good.
In this economy, helping to support charitable causes and health care is an important thing to do. And Dream Lottery Canada seems to fulfill that goal admirably.
Now that’s a Fresh Bit.
