The Hart Lottery was launched in 2017 to benefit good causes in Hart by providing a great way to raise additional funds.
Since launching the lottery over £90,000 has been raised for local good causes. These include school groups, sports clubs, voluntary groups and sports clubs.
Do you want to support a local Good Cause?
Hart Lottery tickets cost just £1 each and 60p goes back to local good cause. This compares to just 28p of every £1 contributed by the National Lottery. Lottery draws take place at 8pm on Saturdays.
When you buy a ticket you can choose a specific good cause to benefit in which case 50 pence of your £1 ticket goes to that chosen good cause, and 10p goes to the Hart Central Fund. Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance of winning a prize every week. This includes an incredible £25,000 jackpot prize if all six numbers are matched, as well as various other cash prizes.
You also have the option of choosing the Hart Central Fund. Money from this fund is distributed on an annual basis between the Chairman's charities for that year. The charities for each year which may be eligible for these funds can be viewed at www.hart.gov.uk/chairman-council-2017.
You can buy tickets and support your local good cause at www.hartlottery.co.uk.
