*Cambridge's Community Radio Station Launches New Monthly Lottery*

209radio, Cambridge's Community Radio Station broadcasting on 105 FM,
has launched a new monthly lottery.

The draw will take place on the evening of the 3rd Thursday every month,
with a guaranteed prize fund of 30% of all monies collected and only one
winner each time. Tickets are £1 each.

It is open to anyone who is over 16 years of age and ID may be required
to enter.

Tickets can be paid for in person, month-by-month, at the radio station
by cash or cheque or players can set up a monthly standing order.

People buying entries must fill in a form, available on request, by
emailing lottery at 209radio.co.uk or by calling 07968 898254.

Karl Hartland, Station Manager, says:

"The new 209radio lottery represents many opportunities; for the station
as a Registered Charity to raise much-needed funds and for 1 lucky
person a month to win a much-needed cash prize.

The prize pot is limited by the number of people in each draw but we are
allowed to take up to £20,000 per draw so that represents a maximum cash
prize of £6,000 going to 1 lucky winner.

So this scheme could potentially raise significant amounts of money and,
should it reach this potential, 209radio is committed to making a
percentage of the proceeds available as a grant pot for other Charities
and Voluntary Sector organisations in the city".
