In the past month, we have had 57 winners in the Oldham Community Lottery! (Dated Mid-December 2024)
Graham won a fantastic £250 through supporting Spark Oldham, and shared a few words about his win!
Where did you hear about the Oldham Community Lottery?
I first heard of it from Action Together, when it first set up. I wanted to support local organisations any way I could.
Why did you choose to support Spark Oldham?
Since the Oldham Community Lottery started, I have set up my own CIC with my wife and friends, so I started to support the profile for Spark Oldham CIC.
What was your reaction once you had found out you had won £250?
I was over the moon to find out that I won. My wife sent me a message, asking if I had won, as she had seen 'MR R has won £250'. But I didn't have network so I couldn't check. With anticipation building, I was delighted to find out I had in fact won so much money.
What will you spend your winnings on?
I will be buying my wife a cheeky Nando's and also supporting our Christmas appeal, supporting families this Christmas.
What would you say to someone to encourage them to play the Oldham Community Lottery?
