Lotto.com, the first online lottery platform in the United States to digitally deliver draw and instant games, proudly hosted a community-driven adoption event in collaboration with Greyhound Pets of America on Saturday, June 20, at Lotto.com's Players Cafe in Minneapolis. The event brought together the community for a fun and engaging morning while raising awareness for Greyhound Pets of America, an organization dedicated to helping retired racing greyhounds find loving homes. Their mission centers on providing care, support, and adoption services that facilitate a safe and successful transition to family life.
Attendees had the opportunity to meet greyhounds available for adoption and enjoy a variety of activities and special promotions, including 50% off selected beverages, coupons for 25% off future purchases excluding lottery products, and much more. In addition to hosting the event, Lotto.com made a donation to the organization to help cover adoption fees for future families. Through initiatives like this event, Lotto.com continues to expand its impact beyond digital lottery access, supporting causes that enhance the quality of life in local communities.
One of the most special moments of the event was the presence of Bailey and Rhea, two retired racing greyhounds in search of a home. Both had recently arrived in Minnesota from racetracks in West Virginia and quickly won the hearts of those who participated in the event. In fact, they received so much attention that several adoption applications were submitted that very day.
"At GPA-MN, we are very excited to have had this opportunity to show the community how wonderful retired racing greyhounds can be as pets," commented Janelle Thienes, board member of GPA. "The Players Cafe location, with its constant flow of visitors, allowed us to introduce our foster greyhounds to many dog-loving people in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis. Both we and the dogs especially appreciate Lotto.com's donation, which helps us cover veterinary expenses and keep adoption fees affordable for more families."
"Community is at the heart of everything we do at Lotto.com," said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc. "Collaborating with organizations like Greyhound Pets of America allows us to support important causes while bringing people together in a positive and memorable way." Lotto.com is also contributing financial support to Greyhound Pets of America to boost its animal rescue and adoption programs. The funds will be used to help cover adoption costs, making it easier for these dogs to find permanent homes where they can live happily.
In addition to contributing to the funding of important state programs through U.S. lotteries, Lotto.com invests directly in the communities it serves. Recently, the company partnered with Food For Thought Denver™ to support initiatives combating food insecurity, reinforcing its commitment to local impact. Currently, Lotto.com operates in 11 states, including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Oregon, with plans to expand to more states soon.
