Malahide Sports Lotto Tops €10k Mark

14 Jun

Over €10,000 has been raised so far for sport in Malahide through the Malahide Sports Lotto, established just six weeks ago in a joint venture between five local sports clubs – rugby, cricket, tennis, GAA and sailing.

Already, there have been over 20 cash winners and the Jackpot is now building up to €2,600, according to Breda Melvin, one of the Sports Lotto co-ordinators.

While hundreds of sports clubs around the country already run their ‘LocalLotto’, this collaboration is unique in Ireland in that this is the first time a group of clubs in a town have come together for this purpose. This collective initiative is managed by Malahide Rugby Club, Malahide Lawn Tennis Club, St. Sylvesters GAA, Malahide Yacht Club and Malahide Cricket Club, all of Malahide

The web-based fund-raising initiative can be accessed on the dedicated website www.malahidesportslotto.com – where players nominate their club of choice as the beneficiary of their contributions.

For just €2 per line, participants choose four numbers per line and can pay for 10, 25 or 50 weeks in advance to avoid doing it weekly. For every €2 invested, 90 cent goes to the nominated club, so the Clubs earn revenue and players stand a chance to win money back.
