The Principality of Liechtenstein has a very well established lottery law providing us with highly regulated lottery games and can proudly claim to have launched the world’s very first online lottery.The ILLF introduced the world to internet lotteries back in 1995 when they launched Plus Lotto – called Interlotto at the time - and carried out the world’s first ever online gaming transaction, allowing people around the globe to play lottery online for the first time. The very first Interlotto draw took place at the Kafferli bar in the capital of Liechtenstein, Vaduz, on Saturday October 7th 1995. Other Lotto Liechtenstein games offered by the World Lotto Corporation are the Euro World Lotto and the Little Big One and the one that we will be taking a closer look at here – Liechtenstein’s great Equinox Lottery…
Equinox Lottery – Overview 
The Equinox Lottery from the ILLF and World Lotto Corporation is a lottery with a difference. It is a lottery game that takes place every month and whatever date the next Equinox occurs on (the days when the sun is directly above the Earth's equator and day and night are about the same length everywhere in the world) is the date that the Equinox Lottery is drawn on each month. This year (2009) the Equinox Lottery will be drawn on…

Information & Background Back in 1995, the concept of online lottery games was conceived and the International Lottery in Liechtenstein Foundation (ILLF) was created as a charitable organization. The government of Liechtenstein granted a license to run an international online lottery and the Lotto Liechtenstein - ILLF launched its first game, Interlotto, later to become Plus Lotto which was to become one of the leading Euro lotto games. The first Interlotto ticket was actually sold to the then Prime Minister of Liechtenstein, Mario Frick, with the first ever winner being Liechtenstein’s first Olympic bobsledder. A Lloyds of London broker, FirstCity, insures the larger Liechtenstein Lottery jackpot prizes to ensure these payouts are guaranteed. All ticket entry fees for any of the ILLF lottery games are held by the Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG to assure that the funds are securely held and paid out when you win the lottery. Liechtenstein Lottery draws, including the Equinox Lottery are made using one of two traditional, mechanical ball drawing machines – as opposed to a Random Number Generator – a method commonly used in world lotteries today.
Where The Money Goes… A primary activity of the International Lottery in Liechtenstein Foundation (ILLF) is the way it provides funding for various charities both in the principality of Liechtenstein and around the world and has made it one of the most well known charitable lotteries. All Lotto Liechtenstein games including those offered by the World Lotto Corporation, make these donations via the government controlled Charity Allocation Committee. The Lotto Liechtenstein (ILLF) has paid CHF 3.044 Million (US$ 2.54 Million) towards charitable causes so far. Two of the main charities that it has supported are the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. In fact, one of the ILLF lotteries – Plus Lotto – is the only lottery mentioned on the website of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC), one of the world's most highly respected and best known humanitarian organizations. This has been known as the Red Cross Lottery or Red Cross Lotto. Click here to
