Every win also brings joy to a child in hospital
When a Luck For Good prize is won, 20 to 50% of it goes to a charity. We have chosen small, hands-on charities that work with children, where every dollar quickly turns into a smile, some comfort or a well-earned break.
How it works
- 1
One charity per competition
The T&Cs of each competition name the charity that benefits and the share it will receive, from 20 to 50% of the prize.
- 2
A guaranteed share
The charity's share is part of the guaranteed prize. It depends neither on a later donation nor on the winner's goodwill.
- 3
Paid directly
If luck strikes, the winner receives the prize and the charity receives its share.
Why grassroots charities
Big causes already have big donors. A local charity, with a small team and plenty of volunteers, sees the difference straight away: a respite camp, a room for parents near the hospital, a clown's visit before surgery.
Why kids
A competition is about luck and joy. We want that joy to go first to the kids who need it most: sick, hospitalised and premature children, and their families.
The charities we would like to support
Ten charities per country, checked one by one: website online, recent activity, no known controversy.
These charities are not Luck For Good partners at this stage and have not given us their agreement. An agreement is signed with each charity before any competition that names it.
