The Deutsche Klassenlotterie (DKL) is a German lottery system established in 1950. It is designed to support social and cultural projects across Germany. Participants buy tickets, and a portion of the proceeds is allocated to various charitable initiatives. The DKL operates on a class system, where different classes of tickets offer varying prize amounts. Draws are held regularly, and winners are selected based on a random drawing of ticket numbers. The lottery aims to promote public welfare while providing entertainment and the chance to win substantial prizes.
