Cllr Emma Crane, Rugby Borough Council portfolio holder for communities and homes, said: "I'm delighted to hear we have a jackpot winner. The Rugby Lotto gives local good causes a fun and easy way to raise much-needed funds, and residents the chance to support causes close to their heart. It's simple for good causes to sign up to the Lotto and start benefiting from the money raised each week."
Good causes can sign up for Rugby Lotto on the website: www.rugbylotto.org/good-causes
For every £1 ticket bought, a good cause selected by the player receives 50p with a further 10p going to a general, Rugby Community Fund. The remaining cash goes into the lotto prize fund and to Gatherwell, the company which runs the lotto on behalf of the council. Charities and community organisations can sign up to benefit from the Rugby Lotto - with £56,000 raised so far.
