The Blues Lottery is going from strength to strength and has now passed the magic 2500 members mark, thanks to the hard work of all involved.

One of the ways the Blues Lottery is expanding is in partnership with local newsagents. Players can add their £1 a week to their paper bill, the newsagent collects the money each week and sends it in to Alan Nichol, our Blues Lottery manager.

This partnership has proved to be particularly successful at the thriving Newsagents at Appleby, where there has already been 3 daily winners since the Lottery started.  However, with around 100 members Dents Paper shop is proving lucky for both it's customers and the club.

Keep up the good work everyone, and good luck to everyone who takes part.
