Good Causes
Good Causes Awards
Every year, the Good Causes Awards celebrate the inspirational work carried out by many volunteers, coaches, care givers and extraordinary people all across Ireland, along with the organisations they represent.
Thanks to you our players, you make this possible.
National Lottery Good Causes funding
Almost 30c from every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to thousands of incredible Good Causes in communities all over Ireland. We are delighted that National Lottery players have raised an estimated €6.5 Billion for Good Causes across the country since we began selling our first products back in 1987.
