Western Isles

ORGANISERS of the Western Isles Lifestyle Lottery are delighted to announce that Lewis Crofters Limited is the latest local company to support the lottery, for which news of November’s bolt-on prize will shortly be announced.

The lottery has now shared out £2,331 in cash prizes and more than £1,500 has been banked in the community funding pot to be distributed at the end of October taking the total raised so far for community upgrades to £6,200.

The ninth successful Western Isles Lifestyle Lottery draw was held on Saturday October 14 with congratulations going to the following winners: first prize of £161.04, Norman Hughson, Stornoway; second prize of £67.10, Karen Afrin, Stornoway; and third prize of £40.26, Margaret MacMillan, Eoligarry, Barra and Vatersay, making her Barra’s sixth winner.

The bolt-on prize-winners will be announced as soon as organisers receive the results so another winner will receive a cash bonus of £250 and another will receive a three-bottle presentation pack of Barra Atlantic Gin.

The organisers thank all those who have joined the lottery and encourage direct debit payments to continue their support.

Encouragement is also sent out to those who haven’t joined yet so both prizes and community pots rise further and the benefits can be appreciated by islanders and tourists.

Tickets can be purchased online on www.westernisleslottery.co.uk or during office hours by telephone on 0300 30 20 444.
