FC Barcelona, via its Foundation and the ‘La Bruixa d’Or’ administration based in Sort have created the ‘Loteria Culé’. These involve shares in tickets for the Christmas lottery, the proceeds of which will go to charity.

The Camp Nou press room was the venue on Thursday for the presentation of the ‘Loteria Culé’. Barça vice president Alfons Godall, the Director General of the Foundation, Marta Segú, and the director of the Bruixa d’Or, Xavier Gabriel, revealed the details.

Charity donations

One-tenth tickets for the ‘Loteria Culé’ will cost 22 euros, 2 of which are donations. In terms of shares, each ticket is going for 5 euros, one of which is a donation. 80% of the proceeds will go to the Fundació FC Barcelona and the other 20% to La Bruixa d’Or’s own charity projects.

Barça colours

Each tenth comes in an envelope in the Barça colours and the shares are personalised with cartoon images of different Barça players and staff, along with the Bruixa d’Or mascot (a witch, specially kitted out in Barça gear). All of these tickets form part of the usual National Lottery system.
