Bolt laiendab järgmisel aastal kergliikurite renditeenust 100 Euroopa linna ja toob tänavatele 130 000 elektritõukeratast ning -jalgratast. Sellega saab Boltist suurim elektriliste kergliikurite renti pakkuv ettevõte Euroopas, teatas ettevõte.
Eesti Loto on Eesti ainus lotomängude korraldaja, kelle mänge mängib igal aastal ligikaudu 400 000 inimest. Lisaks mängurõõmule toetab iga ostetud lotopilet olulisi Eesti ühiskonna valdkondi, sest osa hasartmängumaksust suunatakse kultuuri, spordi, hariduse ja teiste avalike hüvede rahastamiseks.
