It is a requirement to commit 40% of the total amount received for charity purposes. It can be a charity for cancer, heart disease, special needs children, domestic violence victims or whatever else it can be. You can decide to start your own charity organisation and also choose to support more than one, this is all up to you. Tithing will not be considered a charitable contribution.
Evidence of your expenses regarding the 40% will be required one (1) year after a successful prize claim. This means you will need to provide a valid proof of expenses (e.g. receipts) showing how the 40% for charity was spent.
If you need any assistance with the charity requirement, a charity advisor will be assigned to help and also act as a contact for any issues you may have.
