European Lottery Guild

George Clooney has decided to try his luck in one of Europe’s top lottery games with a promise that, if he wins, he will donate the entire jackpot prize to help relief efforts in stricken Haiti.

The US actor last month hosted a star-studded telethon event that raised over $61 Million for the survivors of the catastrophic earthquake. It is believed that the natural disaster on January 7th has left upwards of 200,000 people dead.

Now, according to a local news source in Italy’s Lake Como region where the actor resides, Clooney and his friends plan to buy 1,000 lottery tickets in the hope of attaining a huge cash injection for the Haiti relief effort.

"The jackpot is so high so why not try?" he was quoted as telling a friend assigned with the task of buying tickets around the northern Italian resort.

Clooney's Italian girlfriend, TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, has apparently followed his example and bought another 500 tickets.
