Big Money on the Line as Lotto Draw Approaches

THE National Lotteries Commission (NLC) extends funding applications for 2024/25 from 28 February 2025 to 31 March 2025.

NLC commissioner Jodi Scholtz announced the extension to give not-for-profit organisations more time to register and apply on the new online platform.

“In response to feedback from our stakeholders, we are establishing helpdesks supported by the Department of Social Development (DSD) and our technical experts in all provinces where applicants can get face-to-face help from NLC officials,” said Scholtz.

Details of helpdesk sessions are on the NLC’s website and social media. Scholtz added that organisations can use the platform remotely, at NLC offices in all provinces, or through the Contact Centre on 08600 65 383.
