Twelve months after the first draw was made on the Isle of Wight, the three independent lifeboat stations are extremely pleased to announce that the Independent Lifeboat Lotto has, in its first year, made £36,000 for the units based at Ryde, Freshwater and Sandown.
Thanks to the support and generosity of Islanders the lifeboat stations now have a steady, increasing amount that they receive every four weeks, helping with operational running costs and larger items of equipment that need to be purchased.
A slice of Birthday cake will be available at the Ryde Inshore Rescue HQ on Saturday 12th May between 11am and 1pm for anyone who wants to come along and sign up for the lotto, which costs just over £8 a month.
How to take part in the Lifeboat Lotto
Taking part in the Lifeboat Lotto is easy. Simply complete the entry form and choose to pay by standing order either monthly, quarterly, six monthly or yearly. Choose four numbers between 1 and 31 or opt for the lucky dip.
The draw takes place every Wednesday morning (numbers will be displayed on VB) and if the draw doesn’t result in a winner the money rolls over to the next week.
