Ms.V was delighted to receive her prize and is very happy to see the benefits going to her) chosen charity Dunstable Lions Running Club.
"I’m supporting Dunstable Lions Running Club because it’s a brilliant club that brings people together through running, supporting all abilities, and it’s a really positive and inclusive environment. It’s more than just a running club, it encourages wellbeing, friendships, and community spirit.
Winning is a really lovely surprise and a great bonus, but it means a lot that by taking part I’m also helping to support a local cause that I really care about. I would recommend others to sign up to play the lottery as it’s an easy and affordable way to support local good causes and at the same time there’s the added excitement of potentially winning prizes." Ms. V who won the £250 stated
"I am absolutely delighted to see the Dunstable Community Lottery going from strength to strength. Reaching nearly £7,000 raised for our local causes in such a short time is a testament to the generosity of our residents. It is wonderful to see winners like Ms. V supporting groups like the Dunstable Lions Running Club, ensuring that every pound played stays right here in our community to do some real good."
