Two Exeter Community Lottery players celebrate £250 win

Two lucky players of the Exeter Community Lottery are celebrating after winning £250 in last weekend’s draw. 

But as ever, it’s the community groups and good causes in Exeter that benefit directly from ticket sales who are the real winners. 

The players celebrating a £250 windfall were raising money for the Exeter Community Lottery Central Fund, which supports funding to groups throughout the city, and the Exeter City Community Trust. 

Two other players raising money for West Exe Youth Football and South West MS Therapy Centre, both won £25 in Saturday’s draw. 

Playing the Exeter Community Lottery provides a great way to support good causes throughout the city. 

There are more than120 good causes that are currently signed up to the Exeter Community Lottery. 

For each pound player spend, 50 pence goes to a nominated good cause, 10p goes to the Exeter Central Fund for other good causes and the rest pays for prizes and the administration of the lottery. 

Players of the lottery can also choose to nominate the money to the Central Fund. 

So far good causes in Exeter have benefitted from thousands of pounds in funding from ticket sales. 

Tickets cost £1, and players have a one in 50 chance of winning a prize. Draws take place every Saturday, with ticket holders in with a chance of scooping the top prize of £25,000.
