A lucky ticket holder is enjoying a Happy New Year thanks to a £250 win in the council’s community lottery.
It’s the second £250 LotterySK win in recent weeks, following another just before Christmas.
The winner is a supporter of The Thorold Arms Community Benefit Society, one of 120 good causes benefitting from the South Kesteven District Council-run lottery.
The society has so far received more than £7,000 as its percentage of tickets bought by supporters. It operates as a social enterprise raising money to support the community-owned pub and community hub, including Post Office, shop and guest bedrooms.
Ticket holders have the chance of a £25,000 top prize in the LotterySK weekly draw. Nominated good causes receive 50p for every £1 ticket sold – more than twice the amount raised by the National Lottery.
Another 10p from each ticket sale goes to the SK Community Fund, meaning that 60 per cent of each £1 ticket goes to support good causes in South Kesteven. Every ticket has a one in 50 chance of winning.
As an added incentive, a ‘superdraw’ on Saturday February 25th offers the chance to win an amazing additional prize: a year’s supply of HelloFresh grocery boxes. They deliver fresh high-quality ingredients direct to your door – with everything required to create delicious dinners from scratch.
To buy tickets, or register as a good cause, go to www.lotterysk.co.uk where there is also information and advice for groups wanting help on how to encourage ticket sales.
