Golden Casket, part of Australia’s official lottery, donated AU$300,000 to an organization dedicated to help victims of crime and missing persons. The Daniel Marcombe Foundation helps victims but also offers child safety programs and events. The lottery also sends AMBER Alerts to more than 900 retail outlets in Queensland.

A citizen suggestion led Virginia to employ lottery ticket terminals for AMBER Alerts. More than 5,000 clerk-operated terminals and 700 self-service machines will scroll AMBER Alert messages. The terminals will not display jackpot amounts and marketing messages when an alert has been activated.
