Buy your tickets for chance of winning £25,000 in Exeter Community Lottery
Published: 27 June 2023
Tickets have gone on sale for the Exeter Community Lottery. And with the wait finally over, people are being urged to get behind the initiative and put themselves in with a chance of winning £25,000.
Buying tickets for the Exeter Community Lottery helps support good causes across the city.
The first draw for the Exeter Community Lottery takes place on 22 July, leaving people just over three weeks to get their tickets. People have a one in 50 chance of winning a prize.
Already around 50 community groups, organisations and good causes have signed up to the initiative. They will all get a slice of the ticket proceedings once the Lottery gets underway.
When people buy tickets they can choose which cause they would like to support. Sixty pence in every pound then goes to that cause.
And it’s not too late either for groups to sign up and get involved.
A guaranteed 60 per cent of the ticket proceeds will go to the good causes, with the remainder being put towards prizes and operating costs.
Cllr Martin Pearce, Lead Councillor with responsibility for Communities, said the wait was finally over: “Now it’s down to the people of Exeter to get behind the Community Lottery and help support the community groups, organisations and good causes that make up the heartbeat of this great city.”
People will need to make sure they have a ticket before the first draw is made on 22 July. Draws will then take place on a weekly basis.
