There were SEVENTEEN lucky winners in Saturday night's first ever draw of the Richmond Borough community lottery GET LUCKY LOCAL.

As well as the special non-cash prizes of an iPad and two six bottle cases of champagne, two players won £25 and TWELVE players won three extra tickets.

Lucky Lauren Appleby, from Richmond, who chose to support the Get Lucky Local Community Fund and won the iPad, said: "I was shocked and overjoyed when I found out I'd won a brand new iPad! Get Lucky Local is a wonderful new way to support local causes, which, now more than ever, need all the help they can get!

"I didn't think for a minute that I'd win, I was just happy to be able to help my local community in a small way. It was so quick and easy to set up a direct debit, and you can either pick a specific cause or spread the love with the community fund.

"If anyone can spare the price of one coffee each week and buy a couple of tickets, I'd highly recommend getting involved...all of the great causes win, and so could you...I did!"

A total of 826 tickets were sold and THIRTY NINE local groups had signed up as beneficiaries.

The winners included players in Richmond, Twickenham and Hampton.

The organisations supported by the winners include Hampton Hill Theatre (Home of Teddington Theatre Club) the NPL Sports Club, Hearts of Teddlothian FC, ETNA Community Centre and Teddington Cricket Club.
