How FreeLotto and its Members are Supporting Click2Give Charities

FreeLotto is best known for giving people six free chances to win every single day, but it offers more than prizes to its players. It also offers FreeLotto players opportunities to do a bit of good in the world through gifts to Click2Give Charities. Players who win small prizes are given the chance to donate their winnings to any of 22 international charities through Click2Give Charities, and FreeLotto itself donates to these charities itself, sharing some of its proceeds with people in need.

About the Click2Give Charities Program

Click2Give Charities, FreeLotto’s charity lotto program, was launched in 2003. It was built upon the idea that $1 or $5 prize often won by FreeLotto players would not make a lot of difference in the lives of the people that win them. However, when donated to worthwhile charities that positively impact people in need, those small prizes could certainly add up to create a large and positive impact on the lives of the many people served by these charities.

With that concept in mind, the Click2Give Charities program was created to make it very easy, with just a few clicks of the mouse, to give those small prizes to any of the 22 charities affiliated with this program. The idea caught on quite nicely, and FreeLotto players have been giving generously ever since, providing much-needed funding to these charitable organizations.

How Do FreeLotto Players Donate to Click2Give Charities?

FreeLotto players who win a third or fourth place prize playing the Classic FreeLotto game are given the opportunity to participate in the Click2Give program. Third place prize winners are players who submitted an entry that matches 4 of the 6 winning numbers in Classic FreeLotto, which earns them a $5 prize. Fourth place winners must match 3 of the 6 winning numbers in Classic FreeLotto to earn a prize of $1.

When these third and fourth prize winners are selected to claim their prizes, they will receive an email that confirms their win. That email offers them two options. They can request that their prize amount be sent to them as a check, or they can follow an enclosed link to the Click2Give program page to choose one of the participating charities listed there. Once players click on the charity of their choice, FreeLotto will donate their winnings to that charity on their behalf.
