Dunstable Community Lottery Gets Green Light
In our 40th year Dunstable Town Council is delighted to announce the launch of the Dunstable Community Lottery, an exciting new fundraising initiative for good causes. The lottery will be a great way for people to support good causes whilst having fun and getting the chance to win cash prizes!
Leading lottery management company, Gatherwell, has been appointed by Dunstable Town Council to run the scheme, having already launched similar lotteries elsewhere.
When the lottery launches on Monday 19 May 2025 people will be able to purchase tickets online and support the good cause of their choice. Tickets will cost £1 a week. The draw will be weekly with a jackpot of £25,000, other prizes being £2,000, £250 and £25.
Good causes will soon be invited to register in order to raise funds with Dunstable Community Lottery and keep 50% from every ticket they sell. A further 10% from every ticket will go into a Central Fund that will be distributed to more good causes, with the remainder being put towards prizes, operating costs and VAT.
Councillor Liz Jones, Chair of the Community Service Committee said: “We are thrilled to launch the Dunstable Community Lottery, which will provide vital support to local good causes while giving residents the chance to win fantastic prizes. It’s a fun and rewarding way to make a difference in our community. We encourage everyone to get involved and support the causes close to their hearts.”
Regular updates on the progress of Dunstable Community Lottery will be posted on the Dunstable Town Council website and Facebook pages.
