Novamedia's Charity Lotteries

As the owner of the format Novamedia took the initiative of launching postcode lotteries in three other countries. The format of the Dutch National Postcode Lottery has been sucessfully introduced in Sweden, England and Scotland.

Success in Sweden

The Swedish Postcode Lottery continued to grow in 2009, raising 46 million euros for charities, 11 million euros more than in 2008. This tremendous growth enabled the Lottery to add 11 new beneficiaries in 2009. The amount of money donated to charity grows as ticket sales grow. This amount has now reached 22,5% of the lottery's total income. Since 2005 (till 2009), the Lottery has distributed more than 100 million euros to its beneficiaries, making a big difference to their projects, both in Sweden and in the rest of the world.
