JACKPOT WIN

Festive bonanza and top prize won in LotterySK

Christmas has come early for a Bourne woman who scooped the LotterySK jackpot of £25,000.

The lucky ticket holder supports Three Counties Dog Rescue in Bourne.

Her win tops a bonanza of winning tickets in the weekend draw, with a Grantham man scooping £2,000, two separate wins of £250 and no less than ten people winning £25.

The lottery player who won £2,000 supports the LotterySK Community Fund and the two £250 prize winners support the Grantham Disabled Children Society and Friends of Langtoft School respectively.

It’s LotterySK's third £25,000 winner, bringing the total paid out to ticket holders to £176,875 since South Kesteven District Council launched its community lottery in 2018.

Three Counties Dog Rescue, run entirely by unpaid volunteers, has so far this year raised £1,691 from its proportion of ticket sales.

Gyll Mauchline, who founded the charity, said: “It’s brilliant to think that one of our supporters has been so fortunate just before Christmas. It's incredible, and we are very grateful to LotterySK players who support us.”

Three Counties now owns its rescue premises on Spalding Road and has expanded to include licensed boarding facilities with heated kennels.

The charity is busier than ever, she confirms, appealing for volunteers to help: “We are absolutely inundated, with around 50 dogs needing homes and 19 cats.

“Our vet bills have risen, as a lot of people have not been able to pay for treatment for the dogs we take in, including vaccinations, and we make sure we re-home healthy animals."

LotterySK ticket holders can choose a good cause to support with the weekly chance of winning £25,000. Tickets cost £1 and 60% of each ticket supports good causes operating in South Kesteven
