Please support us in the Local Lotto
The DDF is a member of the Local Lotto, a weekly online lottery created to support local causes in Daventry District.
Tickets cost £1 per week, with 40p of every ticket you buy going to the DDF should you choose to support us when buying your ticket. An extra 10p from every ticket you buy goes into the Local Lotto Community Pot, which groups such as ours can bid for a share of, so it is a great way to support local good causes.
There are also a range of prizes on offer, from £5 for matching two numbers, up to £25,000 if you are lucky enough to match all six!
