The event is produced by the company’s GLI University, an exclusive program that offers continuing education and training to regulators around the world, and regulators attend at no charge.

ReceiptsToRiches.com has announced people throughout the U.S. will have the opportunity to play a free lottery every day by using old recepts, without having to leave their homes to play for high jackpots.

Receipts from a deli, a ball game, a taxi, atm or a parking ticket may be used to enter on-line into sweepstakes games with prizes of $1,000 to $ 2 Million.

ReceiptsToRiches.com is the idea of New Jersey-based businessman Anthony Petrecca, who thought there should be a use for discarded receipts.  “We all get receipts everyday and until now there has not been a valued use for them,” says Petrecca.

Daily, weekly and monthly prizes start at $1,000 and with a larger prize of $2,000,000 for the year end Top Ranked Game.  To enter the original game, players need to state the zip code, date and time of any valid receipt.  Entering this data will automatically make you eligible for a daily, weekly, monthly and year-end game.
