Cllr Carl Sherwood (Brigg & Wolds), Cabinet Member for Community Wellbeing, said: We launched Lincs Lotto to provide a unique way of supporting local good causes and it has the added bonus of giving our residents a fantastic opportunity to win real cash prizes! Over 1,400 tickets have already been sold, meaning a cash injection of over £45,000 per year for local groups.
“We have had nearly 100 good causes apply to benefit from Lincs Lotto, including charities, community groups and sports clubs. If you are a good cause in North Lincolnshire and want to get involved, visit our website to find out how to apply.”
In accordance with the Gambling Act 2005, North Lincolnshire Council has appointed an external lottery manager, Gatherwell Ltd, who run Lincs Lotto on our behalf.
