The ONCE Foundation for Cooperation and Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities

ONCE scratch cards are sold through thousands of lottery offices across Spain, and alongside offering entertainment, they also often contribute to social initiatives supporting people with visual impairments and other disabilities. The ONCE Foundation for Cooperation and Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities was created in February of 1988 by agreement of the ONCE General Council, and has become an instrument of solidarity with blind Spaniards and other groups of people with disabilities to improve their living conditions.

According to the official ONCE website, the main objective of the foundation is “to carry out labour integration, training and employment programs for people with disabilities, as well as to promote global accessibility by fostering the creation of environments, products and services for all.”

It is not often that Lady Luck (or in this case, the Lucky Cat) smiles down in such generous amounts, but for one lottery winner in Mazarron, a simple €1 scratch card has turned into an unbelievable stroke of luck.
