The Derby Community Lottery website is now live and available for both good causes to sign up, and for the purchase of tickets. The first draw will be on Saturday 5 October, with a jackpot of £25,000 up for grabs!
Jonathan Dwerryhouse, Strategy and Partnerships Manager said:
"Our voluntary and community organisations are Derby’s life and soul, and they have a profound impact on people’s lives, health, culture, heritage and the environment. The money raised by Derby Community Lottery is going to make a lot of difference to grassroots good causes. We'd encourage all charities and community groups to register as a good cause and start fundraising with our lottery. It’s easy and free!”
The lottery is being run by Gatherwell, an external lottery management company that runs over 140 local lotteries across the country, raising over £3.7million a year for community groups nationally.
Paul Brookhouse, Manager of Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance, said:
"We are excited to have signed up as a good cause to Derby Community Lottery. It’s great that whenever someone buys a ticket, they can choose to donate 50% of their ticket to us at DF4TA, helping us tackle food insecurity for families and those most in need."
To be in for a chance of winning up to £25,000 for the first draw, you can buy tickets up to 11:59pm on Friday 4 October. Anyone matching six numbers in the draw will win £25,000 or a share if there is more than one winner. Five matches is £2,000, four is £250, three is £25 and two gives the ticket holder three extra tickets. A weekly draw takes place every Saturday night.
