It's almost Health Lottery Mega Raffle time!

Residents of Oldham have just four days to purchase tickets for the Health Lottery Mega Raffle

With the next Health Lottery monthly £250,000 Mega Raffle draw now under a week away, residents across the North West are being encouraged to purchase tickets, as all money raised in the month of September will fund projects in some of the most disadvantaged regions in Greater Manchester.

Chris Lunn, spokesperson from The Health Lottery North West, said: “The funds raised through the Health Lottery in the North West are changing and improving lives.

"To date, over £100 million has been raised through The Health Lottery for good causes across Great Britain, of which over £9 million has been raised for the North West.

"We hope to make even more for good causes through Health Lottery North West this month.”

Residents of Oldham have just four days to purchase tickets for the Health Lottery Mega Raffle which takes place on Monday, October 1.

Tickets for any September lottery draw must be purchased before 7:45pm on Saturday, September 29 to be entered into the raffle.

For every £1 entry into a weekly lottery draw the player is automatically entered into the £250,000 Mega Raffle.

Health Lottery North West is benefitting from Health Lottery tickets sold from September 1-30, 2018.

The funds raised will be going to a huge variety of projects that address health inequalities in Greater Manchester, including Oldham and surrounding areas.
