Official ticket launch for the Essex Lottery

Charities and community groups around Essex are celebrating as tickets for the new Essex Lottery go on sale.

The Essex Lottery is an exciting weekly lottery set up by Essex County Council to support local charities and good causes in communities across Essex with their fundraising efforts. Tickets cost £1, of which 60p will go directly to good causes.

The first draw takes place on Saturday 25 November with a jackpot of £25,000 and guaranteed weekly prizes. Plus, anyone who buys a ticket for the first draw will also be in with a chance to win an iPad.

The Essex Lottery was created in 2017 by Essex County Council.

Set up to support community projects in the local area, the The Essex Lottery operates on the principle of raising money within the community for the community. We empower local good causes to raise money in a fun and effective way.

In a time of shrinking budgets and increased community need, The Essex Lottery enables people to support the causes they care most about, helping good causes to connect with their supporters.

Buy your tickets on the website www.essexlottery.co.uk, or call 0300 302 32 32 to be in with a chance of winning something for yourself and supporting local good causes with their fundraising.

Players can select from over 95 registered causes they wish to support and benefit from the proceeds. There’s still time for good causes to register their interest with The Essex Lottery. You can do this via www.essexlottery.co.uk by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0300 302 32 32.
