Postkodelotteriet
Country: Norway
Postkodelotteriet is a Norwegian charity lottery that started in 2018. Together with 23 non-profit organisations, such as SOS Children's Villages, WWF, Amnesty International and Save the Children, it supports work for a healthy, green and fair world.
At least 50 per cent of the net turnover goes to the non-profit organisations. Since the start, Postkodelotteriet has contributed more than NOK 600 million to non-profit organisations.
As the funds are non-earmarked, the organisations can use the funds where the need is greatest and the urgency highest, which is increasingly important in a more turbulent world. Playing with your postcode gives you the chance to win with your neighbours and support good causes at the same time, a win-win recipe that has proven a success also in Norway.
