Moisson
These days, many Quebecers are struggling to make ends meet, especially when it comes to the quality and quantity of the food the put on the table. Loto-Québec has been supporting the cause of food insecurity for several years through its partnership with the Moisson organizations, which come to the aid of communities by providing foodstuffs across Québec. We’re proud to assist them in a variety of ways in their important mission:
- Our employees pitch in—and even compete with each other!—by collecting as many food items as possible to donate to Moisson partner organizations each year.
- Visitors to our casinos and gaming halls can also participate in this cause through initiatives connected to Giving back is a win-win.
Entraide
Through the Entraide campaign, our employees and managers have been working with those in Québec’s civil service for close to 25 years to help society’s most vulnerable. Every year, Entraide collects donations and distributes them to:
These organizations work on the ground every day to help those in need, providing healthcare services and fighting social exclusion and poverty. Through creative fundraising initiatives, our entire staff show their unconditional solidarity for all Quebecers in their times of greatest need.
Fondation Les Petits Rois
The Fondation Les Petits Rois provides caring support for young adults with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, with or without autism spectrum disorders. Through its work using adapted tools and a stimulating environment, this foundation creates a setting in which these inspiring young people can blossom.
For more than five years, we’ve supported this foundation by providing supervised internships for these young adults.
Additionally, for every lottery prize claimed by mail or at any of our prize claim offices since April 1, 2022, we donate $2 to organizations such as the Fondation Les Petits Rois.
We’ve also set up donation boxes at our prize claim offices in Québec City and Montréal to allow our visitors, winners and employees to give to these causes as well. What’s more, we double every donation!
Altergo
Including people with functional limitations and promoting universal accessibility are what drive AlterGo, an organization that uses sports, recreation and cultural activities to achieve its objectives.
Since 1993, we’ve been partners of Défi sportif AlterGo, a unique event that attracts more than 8,000 athletes. It’s the largest multi-sport event in Canada. The Loto‑Québec Trial Zone invites the public to try an adapted sport to fully appreciate the challenges faced by the people this organization helps. Volunteers and even athletes will be present!
In addition, the Défi sportif AlterGo team works year-round with young people who have functional limitations while stressing the importance of physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.

Support for Québec charities (Loto‑o‑suivant)
Many causes need the support of Quebecers to carry out their mission. That’s why we created the charitable lottery, Loto-o-suivant. Each year, 50 winners of the $10,000 grand prize get to choose a Québec charity that’s dear to their hearts to receive a donation equivalent to their prize.
With each edition of this charitable lottery, a total of $500,000 in donations is distributed to local charities.
Opération Père Noël
The holiday season means presents for most kids, but some families are unable to provide this experience to their children. Opération Père Noël provides our employees with the opportunity to pitch in, alone or in a group, to give a gift to a child in need.
Bingo
Many non-profit organizations (NPOs) and their selfless volunteers work with their communities on a daily basis. More than 450 of these NPOs can count on Loto-Québec’s support thanks to affiliated bingo halls that are spread across 11 regions.
During November’s Let’s give back to NPOs promotion, Loto-Québec will donate a total of $25,000 to the NPOs affiliated with the bingo hall where the jackpot was won. Not only that, the jackpot winner’s prize will be doubled to $50,000!
