From today, tickets will be available LIVE online for the **The Rainbow Lottery –** a chance to scoop a £25,000 jackpot and help LGBTQ+ good causes.

The first draw takes place on **Saturday, June 12,** with **60p** from every **£1** ticket going to LGBTQ+ charities and good causes.

It’s free for good causes to register for **The Rainbow Lottery,** with more than 50 already registered and others encouraged to sign up so supporters can support them when they play.

****Simon Sheehan, chair of The Ben Cohen Stand-Up Foundation, one of the first good causes to sign-up, said: *“We were keen to support The Rainbow Lottery, not only for the benefits it can bring to us as a charity and our anti-bullying work but also for the benefit it will bring to the wider LGBTQ+ community.”***

**Richard Hearne**, director of inclusive cycling group **PRIDE OUT**, said: *“I’m delighted we are registered as one of the founding good causes. The [Rainbow Lottery](https://www.facebook.com/rainbowlottery/?%5F%5Fcft%5F%5F%5B0%5D=AZW85KcUAiFzaBwl5jiM0cTD7G%5FqI9OQK05Wawp0LPAsYcrjJibY66Ynql4Y10Xq4Y-BgVB5RnxuglqmPSwIKFQUiMkR6u%5FuiVYqhXLsIvZujSJYCOgO1P95vKDJe0Y4Hdy1ByQMzXIVltkfcLgsyHF8SpU7-4e8jjkH1xGuGHz3hQ&%5F%5Ftn%5F%5F=kK-R) will be a game changer for LGBTQ+ sport and physical activity groups, often overlooked. Funds will make a meaningful difference to our goal of group bike rides across the UK. I encourage other LGBTQ+ good causes to sign up.”*

Players have a 50 to one chance of winning one of the weekly prizes, which range from the £25,000 jackpot to three extra tickets.

**Tom Gattos**, co-founder of The Rainbow Lottery, said: *“The Rainbow Lottery is history-making for the LGBTQ+ community, which at last has its own central arena of support.*

*There is still a lot of work to do in the community, so we will be encouraging all LGBTQ+ causes to register as a beneficiary of the lottery, so we can help each one continue their vital work.”*

**The Lottery Council**’s Lottery Operator of the Year, **Gatherwell**, has been appointed to run the lottery.
