Dorchester Town Supporters Trust have joined forces with the Dorchester Round Table to launch the brand new Dorchester Lottery.

The monthly lottery, which will see its inaugural draw take place on Wednesday, June 29, is aimed at enriching the local community by raising funds for good causes.

The lottery will see 50 per cent of all money raised going into the prize fund, with the remainder split equally between good causes, distributed by the Round Table, and the Trust.

Trust secretary Dave Ring said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of the lottery after many months of planning.

“The lottery has huge potential and will benefit a number of good causes and charities locally as funds will be distributed by the Dorchester Round Table.

“Of course the larger the number of participants the larger those distributions will be. The lottery will also support the aims and objectives of the Supporters Trust, working to bring the football club and the local community closer together.”
