The Loto-o-suivant charitable lottery game is back:50 donations of $10,000 will be made to Québec charities!
Montréal, September 26, 2022 — This fall, Loto-Québec is looking to put the “fun” in fundraising. Today, the government corporation is launching the second edition of its charitable lottery game, Loto-o-suivant. With this scratch ticket, 50 players will get to take home a $10,000 grand prize, and choose a charitable organization to which Loto-Québec will donate another $10,000.
That’s a total of $500,000 in donations made to charities that are dear to Quebecers’ hearts.
When we give back, we all win!
“When we launched the first edition last year, it was touching to see how moved the winners were to be able to make a $10,000 donation to a cause they care about, and how appreciative the charities they chose were to receive these donations. So we’re thrilled to be launching the Loto-o-suivant lottery game again this fall,” says Isabelle Jean, Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Lottery Games.
The $2 tickets will be available for purchase online and at retail locations starting today, September 26. The draw for winners will take place on November 15.
