A CITY resident is celebrating after winning £25,000 on the Worcester Community Lottery this week – the biggest win since the lottery launched in 2019.
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, signed up to the Worcester Community Lottery in March 2021 and is supporting the West Mercia Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Centre
The winner said: “I couldn’t believe it and am still stunned. I play the Worcester Community Lottery to support the West Mercia Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Centre, a cause which I believe in. It’s an excellent organisation which does crucial work in a chronically underfunded and often misunderstood area.
“I would definitely encourage others to sign up to play the Worcester Community Lottery, because you are supporting important local causes which really need your help. There’s also the added bonus of having a chance to win something, which of course I have been very lucky to do.
“I’ll use the winnings to replace some basic things in the house such as a bed, cooker and fridge freezer, which very much need updating. I know this doesn’t sound too exciting but without this amazing win I would not have been able to buy such essentials. There’ll be something left for a meal or two out with friends too, I’m sure.”
To date the Worcester Community Lottery has raised £74,160 for local good causes, with each player nominating the cause they want to support when they first sign up.
Worcester Community Lottery players have a one-in-50 chance of winning a prize, up to a maximum of £25,000. They sign up at www.worcesterlottery.org for entry into a weekly draw.
