Two winners have been chosen to receive festive hampers as a part of a special Christmas draw from Hart Lottery.

The draw, made on December 15, saw Robin Howard, from Hook, and a Mrs H from Farnborough take the prize.

Hart District Council set up the online lottery to provide support to voluntary organisations and charities. Each ticket costs £1 and has a 1 in 50 chance of winning a prize every week.

This includes a £25,000 jackpot prize if all six numbers match, as well as various other cash prizes.

Robin was supporting Odiham Cottage Hospital and Mrs H was supporting Hants and Surrey Borders Riding for the Disabled when they were chosen at random to each win a luxury festive hamper.

Robin said: “I’m grateful to win this hamper.

“As Chairman of the Fleet of Foot walking football club, I know how important it is for local charities and organisations to contribute to initiatives such as this and the Hart Lottery is a fun way to support your local chosen charity.

“It was a lovely surprise to win the hamper, just in time for my Christmas celebrations.”

Tickets cost £1 each and deliver 60 per cent back to local good causes, in comparison to just 28 per cent contributed by the National Lottery.

The remaining 40 per cent goes back into the prize fund and pays for the running costs.
