Lottery.com is not only a global leader in the Lottery industry but is also developing a global impact platform that aims to tap into its user base to raise funds through the gamification of online donations.

Lottery.com and its CEO’s Mission to Impact Millions

Lottery.com has recently announced the development of its Global Impact Platform, a web and app-based platform that aims to tackle philanthropy in an entirely new way. The new platform will gamify the process of charitable giving by incorporating impact raffles, sweepstakes, and other popular games of chance.

“Our vision is to raise billions of dollars to help solve the most pressing humanitarian needs across the globe using impact raffles, sweepstakes, and other games of chance,” said Lottery.com CEO Tony DiMatteo.

The Global Impact Platform will be targeted at players of games of chance as well as traditional donors and, aside from raising funds for charitable projects, also aims to increase participation and raise awareness for humanitarian causes.

The desire to have a positive impact on the world lies closely at the heart of Lottery.com CEO Tony DiMatteo and his co-founder Matt Clemenson. Together, they run Lottery.com as a “social good company” that leverages its expertise and new technologies to make an impact beyond their industry.

DiMatteo told Forbes in an interview: “I have a deep belief that everyone should try to live a life of perpetual advancement […]. My co-founder Matt Clemenson and I are driven every day to help people and create a massive vehicle for that. Matt and I knew we had something special that would truly change the world […].”

Lottery.com held a fundraising concert in Puerto Rico after the devastating hurricane, and are currently working with several international charities on a project to end world hunger and help to support humanitarian projects around the world, including Akon’s new social impact venture, Akoin.

Akoin’s mission is to empower young entrepreneurs through the creation of digital and in-real-life platforms that will provide entrepreneurs with “crypto-based apps that offer immediate and ongoing new revenue-generating opportunities to stimulate micro-exchanges and financial stability.”

To help Akoin fulfil its mission, the project has entered into a partnership with Lottery.com to collaborate on the design of raffles that will enable players to win prizes as well as opportunities that are vital to the success of young entrepreneurs in emerging markets.

In most of Africa, factors that drive business success, such as access to funding, mobile phones, computers, and professional mentoring are significant barriers. Lottery.com’s blockchain-powered impact raffle platform will effectively distribute wealth at scale by exposing social entrepreneurs to opportunity much faster than traditional fundraising models allow.

This, in turn, can provide much-needed funding to projects that can bring about social change and have a substantial impact on local communities in developing countries.

“I’m proud to announce Lottery.com as Akoin’s first official partner. They bring a combination of technology and experience that’s incredibly rare. And this, together with their passion for emerging entrepreneurs, is going to be critical to the success of Akoin, supporting young people around the world,” Akon said in a company press release.

“With Lottery.com, we’re able to provide immediate access to real resources like training and business capitalization to help young entrepreneurs supercharge their business and exchanges. That’s how you change the game for future generations. That’s how we bring young people up out of poverty and help them take charge of their own destinies,” Akon added.

“One of our core values at Lottery.com is ‘Everyone is an Entrepreneur’ […]. We immediately connected with Akon on that front, and want to do what we can to support their goals in Africa and beyond.” said Matt Clemenson, Lottery.com president and co-founder.
