Dunstable Community Lottery – supporting local good cause with every ticket
The highly anticipated Dunstable Community Lottery is now live! Tickets are on sale, with the first weekly draw taking place on Saturday 31 May.
The local lottery has been set up by Dunstable Town Council in a bid to raise money for local charities, community groups and not-for-profit organisations in Dunstable.
Tickets are available to buy online at www.dunstablecommunitylottery.co.uk/
Tickets cost £1 each, and winners could get up to £25,000. Draws will take place every Saturday at 8 pm. The lucky winners will be informed by email and will have the money transferred automatically into their bank account.
Cllr Matthew Neall Chair of Community Service Committee said:
“We’ve established the Dunstable Community Lottery as a way for good causes to raise essential funds. 60% of the money raised will go to good causes. The rest will go towards the prize money, administration, and VAT. It’s a fantastic way for people to support a good cause of their choice, whilst also getting a personal benefit of a chance to win up to £25,000.’’
If you don’t know which good cause to choose, the money will go into a Central Fund and will also be distributed to Dunstable good causes.
The first charity who has signed up and that will benefit from the lottery is the Luton, Dunstable & Surrounding Kenyan Community Forum, a group close to the heart of the new town Mayor Cllr Sally Kimondo. Other local not-for-profit organisations are encouraged to sign up and start benefitting from the lottery here: www.dunstablecommunitylottery.co.uk/good-causes
