Tickets are on sale for the first SeaMoor Lotto draw on 4 August. Charities and good causes have been signing up on the lotto web-portal and supporters can go online and buy tickets at a cost of £1 per week. Each ticket consists of six numbers and as with many other lotteries, the more numbers you match, the bigger the prize. You can buy tickets for multiple or single causes; 50% of your ticket price goes to the charity you are supporting, 10% goes to the council’s good cause fund, to be distributed to local good causes not signed up to the lottery, and 20% goes to cover the running costs of Gatherwell, the organisation running the lottery on behalf of the councils. It costs charities nothing to join and it’s possible to sign up at any point, even after the first draw, but the sooner a charity signs up the sooner it can start raising money.
