A COUNCIL-run lottery is offering you the chance to win £25,000 PLUS a bonus prize.

Anyone who buys a ticket for the Somerset West Lottery by August 29 will automatically be entered in the summer 2020 bolt-on prize draw.

As well as cash prizes, you'll be in with a chance to wine one of five B&Q gift cards to the value of £100, courtesy of the external lottery management company Gatherwell.

The jackpot prize in the weekly lottery run by Somerset West and Taunton Council is £25,000.

A further bolt on prize draws is planned for winter 2020 with details to be announced.

The Somerset West Lottery gives 50p from every £1 ticket sold to local registered good causes, with 10p going into a community grant fund for which local good causes can apply.

Cllr Chris Booth, SWT’s executive member for community, said: "The local lottery makes it easy for us all to support charities, the voluntary sector and not-for-profit organisations in the SWT area, and gives organisations the opportunity to promote themselves through ticket sales.

"I hope this bonus draw with a chance to win these great prizes will encourage more people to buy tickets and help our local communities.

"I would also encourage as many good causes and local charities as possible to sign up to receive financial support from the Somerset West Lottery."
