Australia has been dealing with some horrible weather and what some officials are calling \u201conce-in-a-century flooding\u201d in some parts of the country. In order to help those who have been hit hardest, the Australian Tennis<\/a> Foundation (ATF) is ready to provide relief through its annual lottery.<\/p>\n

Lotteries, in addition to being a way for some to become instant millionaires, provide ways to support local communities. The ATF, the official charity of Tennis Australia, will use a draw this year to help thousands of displaced Australians who are still at the mercy of the bizarre weather.<\/p>\n

The lottery has odds that are extremely favorable, making it a good option for anyone. There are a number of prizes lined up, including trips to the Australian Open.<\/p>\n

Aces for a Cause<\/h2>\n

There are 5,000 lottery tickets available, according to the organization. This means the odds of winning are just 1 in 5,000. The tickets cost AUD20 (US$13.68) apiece, or three for AUD50 (US$24.21).<\/p>\n

The draw will take place on January 23. The winner will be able to select either two tickets to the Australian Open women\u2019s singles final on January 28 or the men\u2019s singles final the following day. The prize package also includes a few extras to sweeten the deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Airfare to Melbourne from the winner\u2019s closest state capital and two nights at the Westin Hotel in Melbourne are part of the package. In addition, the winner will receive a personalized tour of the Australian Open facilities, as well as a chance to attend an exclusive photoshoot with the eventual champion the day after the selected event.<\/p>\n
