Media enquiryThe easiest way to run a Lucky Squares fundraiser in Australia
Lucky Squares Australia is an online fundraising platform built for schools, sporting clubs, charities, and community organisations. It lets any organisation run a Lucky Squares grid fundraiser entirely online, from setup through to the live draw, without paper grids, cash handling, or the spreadsheet chaos that has made the format so burdensome for volunteers.
Participants buy squares via a shared link, pay securely by card or bank transfer, and watch the draw happen live. Organisers get real-time visibility of sales, a digital record of every transaction, and more time to focus on their community rather than their admin.
Lucky Squares Australia charges a flat fee per campaign with no percentage cut from proceeds, so every dollar raised by participants goes directly to the organisation. The platform is designed to be used by anyone, with no technical knowledge required.
"I've seen firsthand how challenging fundraising can be. A friend was trying to run a Lucky Squares fundraiser using SMS messages and a spreadsheet and complained about how time-consuming it was. I went looking for an online version to help her and was surprised that nobody had already built one. So I did."
Jamie Stott, Founder, Lucky Squares Australia
Volunteers are already stretched
There are more than 70,000 registered sports clubs in Australia alone. Most rely heavily on volunteers who are already stretched just keeping operations running. Fundraising falls to the same small group of people, every time.
"There is lots of opportunity to do more. The current committee is flat out keeping the basics happening."
Lucky Squares Australia was built specifically to reduce that load, turning a fundraiser that once required paper grids, cash handling, spreadsheets, and manual draws into something that runs itself online.

She has represented South Australia in Masters Hockey, played competitive baseball, and spent years giving back to the clubs and competitions that shaped her. Jamie understands both the financial pressures facing community organisations and the power of sport to bring people together.
Drawing on that experience, Jamie co-founded Play With Heart Pty Ltd (trading as Lucky Squares Australia) to give clubs, schools, and not-for-profits a modern, easy-to-use platform that reduces volunteer workload while helping organisations raise more for the causes that matter.

Away from the platform, Jamie recently published her first children's book, The Catcher With Heart, a story about courage, kindness, and the joy of playing ball.
