MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Lotto.com, the first online lottery platform in the United States to digitally deliver draw and instant games, partnered with Greyhound Pets of America (GPA) to host a community adoption event on Saturday, June 20, at Lotto.com's Players Cafe in Minneapolis. The event aimed to bring the community together for a fun and engaging morning while raising awareness for GPA, an organization dedicated to helping retired racing greyhounds find loving homes.
Attendees had the opportunity to meet greyhounds available for adoption and enjoy various activities and special promotions, including 50% off select beverages, coupons for 25% off future non-lottery purchases, and 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, Lotto.com continues to expand its impact beyond digital lottery access, supporting causes that contribute to improving 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 same day.
“We at GPA-MN are very excited to have had this opportunity to show the community how wonderful retired racing greyhounds can be as pets,” said Janelle Thienes, board member of GPA. “The location of Players Cafe, with its constant flow of visitors, allowed us to introduce our foster greyhounds to many dog lovers in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis. 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 center 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 that combat 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 in the near future.
