From the steps of the Sydney Opera House to our nation’s iconic ecosystems, and onto remote communities in the Northern Territory — it’s been a diverse and fantastic few months working with our community partners.

The Lott by NSW Lotteries is celebrating another year of its long-standing partnership with the Sydney Opera House. It’s incredible to think that way back in 1957 when Australians bought their tickets into the very first Opera House Lottery, they were helping to create an incredible international masterpiece and a cultural icon. 

Children in remote Australian communities face significant challenges when it comes to accessing healthcare, and Starlight Children’s Foundation is paving the way to a brighter future through their Healthier Futures Initiative. For the third year, The Lott by Tatts NT is proud to support this initiative with a $100,000 donation from unclaimed prize money to help Captain Starlight continue to visit remote communities. 

We have taken another step in our sustainability journey by partnering with Greening Australia, a not-for-profit with over 40 years of experience in restoring Australian landscapes by connecting community, economy and nature. Our donation will support Greening Australia’s national restoration programs and drive meaningful impact for Australian landscapes, biodiversity and climate resilience.

We marked September's Childhood Cancer Awareness month, with a $100,000 donation to Childhood Cancer Association. This year’s donation has doubled from previous years and is the fifth year The Lott has supported the vital work of Childhood Cancer Association to provide critical care services to children with cancer and their families.

My Room Children’s Cancer Charity wrapped up Childhood Cancer Awareness month with their 2024 telethon raising an incredible $5.2 million. For the sixth year, The Lott by Tatts donated $100,000. My Room is an incredible volunteer-run organisation that has been dedicated to increasing the survival rate of childhood cancer for more than 25 years.

It’s been a wonderful few months for our community partners, and we look forward to celebrating their 2024 successes in our next community snapshot.
