Do you also get annoyed with all the litter floating around our streets and parks? Do you even pick up the occasional piece of rubbish and deposit it in a bin? Than this message is for you!

LitterLotto is a free to enter Prize Draw, with regular spot prizes and huge jackpots, supported by brands such as McDonald's that want a cleaner environment. To enter, simply use the app to take a picture of litter as you place it in the bin.

Each time you submit a new piece of litter it’s another chance to win! I've personally won around hundreds of dollars in spot prizes binning litter since May this year.

LitterLotto is available globally, with different Jackpot levels wherever you are. The monthly jackpot for New Zealand is NZ$ 8,000!

This is not actually a lotto – it's a free Prize Draw, and there’s NO cost to enter, other than putting litter in the bin.

Click the following link to get the app, and bin it to win it! Good luck!!
