A LUCKY resident could scoop up to £25,000 with the first Redditch Community Lottery draw this weekend.
On Saturday January 18 the first draw will be made at 8pm – but there’s still time to buy a ticket and support local good causes too.
Tickets cost £1 and players have a 1 in 50 chance of winning a prize – with 50p of your £1 stake going straight to the local charity or voluntary organisation of your choice.
A further 10p will go to the Borough Council’s community pot.
Portfolio holder for Leisure Councillor Mike Rouse, said: “As a Council we are committed to helping Redditch’s voluntary and community sector, providing more support than our neighbouring authorities.
“The Community Lottery not only bolsters this support but gives our residents the chance to win a cash prize too. It’s a win-win.”
There’s still the opportunity to register a good cause and be in the hat to benefit from ticket sales.
Council Leader Matt Dormer said: “We have seen 16 good causes already sign up to the scheme and we would like to see a lot more take part too!”
