The lottery was launched in May by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation in a bid to raise more money for good causes across the county.
Players have the chance to win cash prizes of up to £25,000 every week, whilst supporting the good cause of their choice.
Players can choose which local cause will receive 50p from every £1 ticket, with a further 10p going to Cambridgeshire Community Foundation to support other local causes.
Tickets are available to buy online at www.cambridgeshirecommunitylottery.co.uk
Some of the organisations that have already taken up the chance to give their fundraising a boost include:
- The Kings Hedges Family Support Project
- Cambridge Cyrenians
- Living Sport
Melissa Santiago-Val, CEO of Sew Positive, one of the first charities to sign up, commented: “Sew Positive is delighted to be one of the first charities to sign up to the new Cambridgeshire Community Lottery. As a small charity, it’s vital to give people different ways to support us. This is a great way to combine supporting Sew Positive, Cambridgeshire Community Foundation, and also have the opportunity to be a lottery winner!”
There is no limit on the number of causes that can join.
Not-for-profit organisations can still sign up at: www.cambridgeshirecommunitylottery.co.uk/good-causes
