With hopefully more winners in the future, the Lottery team is delighted to announce its first £250 winner, with Georgia Gain, an employee at charity Home-Start, being the fortunate recipient...
This marks another exciting milestone for the Watford Community Lottery, which was launched to support local causes and provide residents with a chance to win fantastic prizes while giving back to their community. It has raised over £9,508.80 so far for local charities from June 2023.
Since its inception, the Watford Community Lottery has been gaining momentum, with a handful of £25 winners already enjoying their winnings. These smaller prizes add to the excitement of participating in the lottery and provide even more opportunities for residents to win.
Georgia Gain, an employee at Home-Start, chose the charity as her beneficiary for the 60% of the ticket sales she buys weekly. Home-Start is known for its exceptional work in the local community, making a profound impact on the lives of families and children who access their services.
Georgia Gain shared her thoughts on winning the £250 prize and her decision to support Home-Start: “I'm thrilled to have won this prize, and I couldn't think of a better way to use it than to support Home-Start. As an employee and a member of this wonderful community, I've seen firsthand the incredible work they do, and I'm proud to be able to contribute to their mission. Participating in the Watford Community Lottery has been a great experience, and I hope to see more big winners in the future!"
Elected Mayor of Watford, Peter Taylor, said: “The Watford Community Lottery was established to provide a platform for residents to actively support local causes close to their hearts. Whether it's supporting charities like Home-Start or contributing to community projects, the Watford Community Lottery aims to make a positive difference in the lives of Watford's residents.
The Watford Community Lottery encourages everyone in the community to join in the excitement and become a part of this initiative that supports local causes. With the chance to win cash prizes, and a meaningful way to support organizations like Home-Start, it's a win-win for all participants.
