Harrogate's Local Lotto raises over £160,000 for good causes
The Local Lotto celebrated its third birthday at the weekend having raised over £160,000 for local causes
Harrogate Borough Council set up the lotto to raise money for local voluntary sector organisations.
Players have won a combined total of £41,000.
Every 60p in £1 goes to 108 local causes, including Autism Angels, Harrogate Easier Living Project (HELP), and Woodfield Millenium Green.
Beneficiaries paid tribute to the fund.
Low Harrogate Crown Green Bowling Club said in a statement the Local Lotto had "provided a revenue stream that has enabled the bowling club to invest in new equipment".
Ripon Community Link added the initiative had provided "a regular, reliable income stream when charitable income can be erratic, especially in such turbulent times".
