Lottery of Fun for Fundraising

More than a dozen residents have struck lucky in a weekly lottery which benefits good
causes in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Two Newcastle residents, supporting Castle Capers Gang Show, have won £2,000 after
matching five numbers in the latest draw for the Lyme Lottery.

More than half of ticket sales go to good causes – tickets cost just £1 per week and each
one has a 1 in 50 chance to win, with a top prize of £25,000.

Three players pocketed £25 each recently and a further nine received free tickets. They are supporting the New Vic Theatre, Alice Charity, North Staffs LinkLine, Hempstalls
PSFA and Greyhound GAP among others.

Jon Mycock, from Castle Capers, said: “We’re really pleased that one of our supporters has been lucky enough to win a prize in the latest Lyme Lottery. We’ve found that the Lyme Lottery has been a fantastic way to gather support and interest for our scout gang show. It allows our supporters to get behind the show in a much more practical way while also giving them the chance to win some prize money.”
The main winner added: “We are thrilled to have won a prize and hope that more people
start playing the Lyme Lottery to be in with a chance. It’s nice to know that funds raised go to good causes which help the local community. We will be putting our winnings towards one of our crazy adventures.”

Good causes working in the borough can apply online to register with the Lyme Lottery to raise funds. For more information, or to buy lottery tickets, please visit
