Italy

Italy currently has no charity lotteries due to the lack of a legislative framework, although Italy's lottery sector is competitive. If Italy allowed charity lotteries on a restricted basis, it could generate c. €313m in additional charitable contributions each year, while a less restricted model could generate c. €965m in additional charitable contributions each year.
