ZEAL supports homeless people in Hamburg

(Hamburg, 16 December 2019) Just in time for Christmas, ZEAL Network SE, Germany's leading online provider of state-licensed lottery products, is offering the "Christmas Angel" lottery club at Tipp24.com from 16 to 21 December 2019. The special thing about it is that one euro goes to the Förderverein Winterprogramm für Obdachlose e.V. for every share sold. The association was founded by volunteers of the Winter Emergency Programme ("Winternotprogramm") and has set itself the task of preparing and distributing meals for the homeless, passing on clothing, collecting donations in kind and money to improve the social and health situation and informing the public about the goals and tasks of the Winter Emergency Programme. Around 2,000 people live on the streets in Hamburg.

"Especially at Christmas it is important to think of other people who may not be as lucky as you are. We hope that many of our customers will take part in the campaign and thus become Christmas angels themselves for those in need," says Dr Helmut Becker, CEO of ZEAL Network SE.

As a result of the business model change implemented on 15 October 2019, the previous Tipp24 secondary lottery returned to the lottery brokerage business permitted in Germany and has since been an official partner of the German Association of State Lottery Companies (DLTB).

About ZEAL Network SE: ZEAL Network SE, Germany's leading online provider of state-licensed lottery products, is a Hamburg based Group which mainly brokers customers' tickets to the state lottery companies through the brands Lotto24.de and Tipp24.com, for which it receives a commission. The offerings include among others »Lotto 6aus49«, »Spiel 77«, »Super 6«, »EuroJackpot«, »GlücksSpirale«, lotto clubs, »Keno« and the »Deutsche Fernsehlotterie«. Founded in Germany in 1999 as Tipp24 SE, it was initially set up as a lottery broker. In 2005, it was floated on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard) and became one of the most successful initial public offerings (IPOs) in Germany at the time. In 2009, the Group changed its focus from lottery brokerage to the secondary lottery business. Shortly after this, it moved its registered office to London and was renamed as ZEAL Network SE in November 2014. In May 2019, ZEAL completed the takeover of Lotto24 AG, returned its Tipp24 secondary lottery to the German brokerage business in October 2019 and relocated its registered office back to Germany in the same month.
