The French government is planning to put up a special lottery for Africa that could be a good source for supplement to development aid in Africa.

French Secretary of State for Co-operation, Alain Joyander said that they are planning to introduce a bingo for Africa or a lotto. Both options are seriously under consideration.

Bingo has always been a good attraction for fundraising events. It is popular with all types of people from the masses to the rich and famous. The fact that the game is not just for personal gratification but is played for the benefit of Africa, could add more appeal for bingo games to players.

The government aims to launch the said special lottery next year, 2010. The money raised from the bingo game or lotto is intended to fund the education of underprivileged children in Africa.

The target revenues for the lottery is pegged at 10 million euros [8.5m] annually. Mr. Joyander believed that the expected amount is within reach and reasonable considering how popular bingo and lotto are among people not just in France. The matter has been forwarded to Frances state betting monopoly.

Mr. Joyander also added that the special lottery would be under the innovative funding category because of its rather unique way of funding projects. Other measures have already been introduced and approved under innovative funding. These measures include levying a reduced special tax on airline tickets bought by Africans and the reduction on the charges paid by Africans who send money home.

The French government earns around 2.5bn euros every year from lottery and scratch cards. This data is quoted from French newspaper Le Figaro.

Considering the data, it seems the idea of special lottery featuring either bingo or lotto is a surefire hit. Bingo and charity provide an irresistible combination.

According to Mr. Joyander Our game, where from the outset each player knows that part of his bet is destined for Africa, is supposed to be educational. It’s important for everyone to be aware that, even in times of crisis, the poor must not be abandoned.
