Win prizes with Brixham Lottery - while supporting local projects

Brixham Lottery's Christmas/New Year card tickets are now on sale - with great odds to win prizes.

While other lotteries offer odds of one in millions, Brixham Lottery provide fair chances, said promoter John Brennan.

“We don't sell many tickets as our figures show," he said.

“For the first Spitfire flight issue, only 543 tickets sold; the second Spitfire flight saw just 517 tickets sold; a luxury cruise prize saw 345 tickets sold and an electric bike prize only 331 tickets sold. Last Christmas, the 2021 jewellery prize saw only 398 tickets sold. So for this year's Christmas/New Year jewellery or cash alternative prize, we are likely to sell few tickets.

“People often ask what are their chances of winning the national lottery? According to the National Lottery website, the odds are for Lotto jackpot are one in 45 million, the Euro Millions jackpot in one in 139million and Thunderball top prize is one in eight million."

Mr Brennan added: “Brixham has an unusual lottery. It is dedicated to supporting only local projects and events. It has funded wall murals, floral displays, commemorative artworks and free public events. Just walk around Brixham and see where the money spent. We are particularly proud that 100 per cent profits raised stays local.

“The 'multi-purpose' Brixham Lottery card issues can be bought annually for family, colleagues or friends. It can be given as a present for specific occasions or as a good luck, thank you or leaving card, Valentine's or Christmas/New Year card.

“People are often happy with a card as a gift especially if you need to post or distribute around a family increasing chances of someone winning in your groups."

The draw is on December 12, 2023, for cards purchased one week before this date. Tickets are available are priced at £5 and available in Brixham from Crafty Cwtch Welsh cafe and photographer Chris Slack in Middle Street, Dobles Jewellers and Trinity Cake Shop in Fore Street and The Handyman in Pillar Avenue.
