Instead of socks and undies, Aussies are opting for a different type of gift for dad this Father’s Day – one that supports important community causes and gives dad the chance to win.

A ticket into a Play For Purpose raffle not only raises money for one of the 500 causes you can choose from but also offers the chance to win a First Prize Pack worth $250,000.

Tickets into Raffle 20, which closes on 14 September, are now available with a First Prize Pack that includes an electric BMW iX3 M Sport, $100,000 in cashable gold bullion and a $17,000 shopping spree.

Play For Purpose spokesperson Matt Hart said a ticket into the next raffle was the ideal gift for the dad who had everything.

“Every $10 Play For Purpose ticket makes a real difference to Australian communities, with $5 from every ticket sold going directly to the charity you choose,” he said.

“From rescuing and rehoming animals and providing drought relief for Aussie farmers, through to contributing to vital cancer research and helping sick kids — there are over 500 great causes to choose from so you can pick one that matters to him.

“And dad’s Play For Purpose ticket means he’s in the running to take home one of the hundreds of other prizes on offer.”

About Play For Purpose

Play For Purpose is a not-for-profit raffle that helps to raise funds for charities and grassroot sports programs in Aussie communities.

Play For Purpose helps Aussie lottery players support causes close to their hearts, while also giving them the chance to win hundreds of prizes, including a $250,000 First Prize Pack.

Since 2018, Play For Purpose has created more than 50,000 winners and raised over $7.8 million for charitable causes.

Tickets into a Play For Purpose raffle are $10, with $5 from every ticket sold going directly to a charity or sports program of the player’s choosing, with the remaining $5 used to fund prizes and administration costs.

Play For Purpose is conducted by the 50-50 Foundation and made possible by The Lott, the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

As part of its support of community organisations, The Lott provides resources and financial support to every Play For Purpose raffle. This support reduces raffle administration costs which means more money from every ticket you buy goes to a good cause.

The 50-50 Foundation is an ACNC registered charity that has operated more than 300 charity raffles and raised funds for more than 500 charities and sports foundations since 2012.
