Hart District Council has launched a new online lottery, the Hart Lottery, to benefit good causes in Hart by providing a great way to raise additional funds.
Since launching the lottery in July to December 2017 we have had:
- Over 460 players sign up
- Over £10,000 raised for good causes
- An estimated £27,000 to be raised annually
Taking part
Tickets cost just £1 each and about 60% goes back to local good causes, in comparison to just 28% contributed by the National Lottery. The remaining 40% goes back into the prize fund and pays for the running costs.
Players can nominate a specific good cause to benefit in which case 50 pence of their £1 ticket goes to that nominated good cause. 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.
Players also have the option of choosing the Hart Community Fund when they buy a ticket. The Councils Cabinet has agreed that money from this fund will be distributed on an annual basis between the Chairman's charities for that year. The charities for 2017/18 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.
