It was a bumper Saturday night draw for cash winners in Richmond borough's Get Lucky Local community lottery.

Seven players won a £25 cash prize in Draw 13 and twenty one players won three free tickets for next week's big Valentine's draw.

The lucky cash winners, who can donate their winnings to their nominated good cause if they wish to, represent Hearts of Teddlothian FC, the Skylarks charity, Kew Neighbourhood Association, Makers United and Richmond Carers Centre and the Harlequins Foundation.

The total of 28 winning tickets covered Teddington, Hampton, Isleworth, Twickenham, Richmond and Feltham.

Other organisations benefiting from last week's draw include SporTedd, United Response, Hampton Hill Cricket Club, Teddington Cricket Club, Hampton and Richmond Borough Youth FC, Teddington Hockey Club, Christmas Day Richmond, Whitton Wanderers Youth FC, Hampton Hill Theatre, Crossroads Care, the RUILS charity and the NPL Sports Club.

Just under 1,000 tickets were sold for last Saturday's draw and Get Lucky Local is now raising over £31,000 over the year for good causes across the Richmond Borough.

A spokesperson for the not-for-profit lottery said: "If an organisation can sell 100 tickets or more a week that will raise £2,600 over the period of a year. It's really simple for a local good cause to raise money when it is so difficult because of the pandemic.

"If you are a local good cause or live in the borough you can sign simply up to the lottery and start making money next week or support a good cause close to your heart and close to your home by buying a ticket everyone's a winner."
