 Cllr Martin Pearce, Lead Councillor for Communities
Excitement builds for first Exeter Community Lottery draw
People are being encouraged to grab their tickets for the very first Exeter Community Lottery draw, which takes place on Saturday (22 July).
Excitement is building to the big day and the Community Lottery is already on track to raise over £30,000 for good causes in the city.
The first draw will be made on Saturday with ticket holders in with a chance of scooping £25,000.
Cllr Martin Pearce, Lead Councillor for Communities, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for people in the city to give money to support local good causes.
“We’ve got art groups, history groups, sports groups like Exeter Strollers and we’ve even got school groups that have signed up. In fact, there’s every aspect of our community represented.
“I would encourage everybody to go to the Exeter Community Lottery website, look at the whole list of good causes that are on there, sign up and get yourself a ticket and maybe you can win a prize as well.
“This is all about supporting good causes and putting money back into our community.”
