back to news EADA and Boingo Lotto Press release EADA is delighted to announce it will be amongst the beneficiaries of Bingolotto – a new TV game which will raise money for sport and the voluntary sector. Bingolotto will be a weekly game broadcast on digital channels Virgin 1 and Challenge. Tickets will be on sale from 11,000 outlets around the country and will allow viewers to take part in the BingoLotto game from the comfort of their own homes, with a 1 in 9.5 chance of winning. The BingoLotto game has run in Sweden since 1991 where it has raised just under £1billion for charities and sports organizations. At least 20% from each ticket sold in the UK will be distributed to sport and recreation projects throughout the country. Profits from the show will be distributed to the governing and representative bodies of sport and recreation. The funding EADA will receive will be spent on new and enhanced programmes of activity at the grassroots or on special projects for which funding is currently unavailable. The game will also provide valuable profile to a wide range of sports and activities by featuring them on the weekly show and on the BingoLotto website. EADA will support the game by promoting it amongst the membership, by providing examples and case studies of how funds have been spent and by identifying current and future stars from the world of Amateur dancing to appear on the show. The more tickets are sold each week, the more EADA benefits. The game’s motto is “Real people. Real winners” and it will offer life-enhancing, rather than life-changing prizes to winners. The prizes in the game are varied and range from tickets for the following weeks game, through to cars, holidays and a maximum cash prize of £100,000. BingoLotto is regulated by the Gambling Commission. David Corfiled, Chairman of EADA believes the investment the organization will receive can make a big difference: “The EADA Council is pleased to be part of this new venture and feel that it gives us a great opportunity to improve access to competitive dancing at the lower levels”.
