If you have not yet joined our lotto or if your ticket has recently expired, please consider signing up again – it is our main fundraiser and contributes enormously to the day to day running of the club.
The lotto can either be played online using the link below or lotto tickets are available from any committee member – this includes the option to enter for multiple draws.
Our Community Friendly lotto was launched in June 2020 and since then we have donated €4,000 of our lotto funds to local charities. So when you play our lotto you are also supporting the charities in our community.
Our next nominated charity is Carmhá and a further €500 from our Lotto funds will be presented to them in the coming weeks.
