Some people like to gamble. Others may not gamble at all. Many are somewhere in between, depending on what the gamble is. I suppose, anyone in crypto space likes the gamble to a certain extend. Anyone who goes to casinos like to gamble for sure. Those who buy lottery tickets also like to gamble. Interestingly, many people do buy lottery tickets, much less people go to a casino, and even less people are investing and trading in crypto space. I guess one factor is the investment one need to make with another factor being accessibility. Lottery tickets are very accessible, and usually available for low budgets. Entering a casino, one will likely play with larger budgets than buying lottery tickets. And playing with money in crypto space, well, I suppose people using even larger budgets over those used in casinos. **Long story short**: I'm not so much of a gambler in one way, while I am in another way. - Casino: I hardly go to. - Crypto space: yep, tick in the box, have funds in these digital none-fiat currencies. - Lottery: well, good one, I don't like to play lottery, since the chance to actually get to a payout of whatever sort (funds, good or services) is almost zero. **However**, I'm soooooo pleased to still play the Dutch National Zipcode Lottery (Dutch original title & link: [Nationale Postcode Lotterij](https://gratis.postcodeloterij.nl/speel-mee-online?gclid=CjwKCAjwkYDbBRB6EiwAR0T_-vtR1Frcf1z9LUwCCOf8AOImk_y8rimp6xWJSIvfRNPucedfrcufahoCSjMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CK6Hx8PnydwCFYS9dwodyQIGSQ)). For a long time I'm playing this lottery, and still continue to do so for the sole reason this lottery gives a lot of their income from ticket sell, to charity, NGO's. <center>![](http://elitetrust.org/img/donate.png) <sub>© Elite Trust ([source](http://elitetrust.org/donate.php))</sub></center> This weekend I was confirmed this lottery was doing something good. Former US president Bill Clinton congratulated the Nationale Postcode Lotterij at the International AIDS conference held in Amsterdam last weekend, since they are the **third largest organisation sponsoring NGO's, worldwide. Worldwide? Really? Only 17,2M citizens in the Netherlands and only 2 other organisation in the world contributing more to NGO's?** 50% of all the income from lottery tickets is used to sponsor NGO's, last year the amount was around 360 million Euro's. Although I feel being a world citizen, I'm very proud of what the Dutch are achieving and it makes me proud to be Dutch myself! Eva Jinek, one of our best TV journalist/host, had a open, honest and kinda heartbreaking interview with Bill Clinton after his speech at the International AIDS conference in Amsterdam. <center>[![](https://www.lindanieuws.nl/cache/img/c-1272-712/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Jinek-Bill-Clinton-Eva-Jinek-baby-e1532763954892.png)](https://evajinek.kro-ncrv.nl/fragmenten/een-exclusief-interview-met-bill-clinton) <sub>Eva Jinek interviews Bill Clinton ([source](https://evajinek.kro-ncrv.nl/fragmenten/een-exclusief-interview-met-bill-clinton))</sub></center> <center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YlT6cvUHoG4" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> <sub>Keynote by Bill Clinton at International AIDS conference in Amsterdam ([source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlT6cvUHoG4))</sub></center> # <center>Care for Others</center> <center>**[Music Library with more than 200 Entries](https://steemit.com/music/@edje/your-bedside-companion-or-more-than-200-music-entries-to-browse-and-play)**</center> <center><sup>blockchain curator and reviewer for @illuminati-inc you like music? check @qsounds</sup></center>

Didn't know about this side of lottery organizations. Mr edje if you are in betting, then try scorum. I have also switched from steemit to scorum. Because, better payouts and no bots. Plus platform is only sports oriented. This is the link to my Id, just to show what i achieved in 1 month only. https://scorum.com/en-us/profile/@hassan

Well, I guess not so many lotteries are actually contributing the way this specific lottery does. The good thing in NL is, lotteries are stated owned, ie no commercial companies are in the driving seat. Scorum: new to me; will check it our; although, Iām not too much into sport, but lets see. Thanks for the tip!

Pretty awesome what we achieve as little country! What I actually find the most funny part about your post is that I really don't think Eva Jinek is one of the best. But I guess that is just my personal opinion. About charity I always say that one day, when I'm retired/with pension, I will contribute myself to it. I always think that volunteering for something is better than giving money. Let's hope that one day I can fulfill this idea.

One can do both; The good thing with the lottery setup is that people are playing it for the gamble, and at the same time they are helping others. Next to that, the organisation make real efforts to market the lottery through all the TV shows and all, and suddenly almost whole of NL is playing it. Next to that, one can also volunteer, and I think many people do some volunteer work in NL. I was reading somewhere we have 7M volunteers in NL. Maybe most of them doing something in the local community, at the sports club or something, but still, quite a few people who do something for others.

7mln volunteers is really a lot. Perhaps that is because mantel zorgers are included?
