Anyone thinking of playing ? i see from the website the first jackpot draw for this weekend is indicated at 267 pounds.. I wish it the very best, but i dont see any future in it. http://www.luckyherts.co.uk/ Its also launching the same week as the re-launch of www.playmonday.com the national internet only lottery that flopped six months ago...

Never heard of it until now. I was a tad surprised though that the contact address seems to be a private residence on Newland Gardens.

Hello thank you for mentioning luckyherts in your topics of discussion. A few detail about Luckyherts It's a local lottery with v.low overheads put together by me a local person from Hertford. Why will this work when playmonday.com flopped 6 months ago? Play Monday had high over heads and took large wages putting a massive strain on its resources. Everybody working for luckyherts is voluntary and a lot of local businesses have donated time and money to get it off the ground. It is also, and must be stressed Not-for-profit. With support from local people luckyherts will snowball into a project that will fund many new projects across the county. It won’t make you a millionaire but it might make life a little sweeter for both people who play and win and communities and groups that benefit from it. Have a look, get a free ticket by signing up and let me know what you think. http://www.playluckyherts.co.uk

A little naive, but good luck anyway.

Certainly an admirable effort but if some success is proven I think just an organisation that raises money for various projects is sufficient. I can see the lottery aspect being something that falls apart. If it does succeed then fantastic if not why not just raise money without the prize I am sure many local residents would be willing to donate if not money then time.

Who decides which organisations receive money, and how much?

You're welcome to make a valid contribution. "Here she goes again" is not a valid contribution, as another member has already pointed out.

Perhaps a bit late to be adding something to this thread, however if you wish to enter any lottery remember this: A few years ago a friend of mine set off one Saturday evening to a local corner shop (just before the Lottery tickets would no longer be accepted for that day) to purchase some milk, a stamp to post a completed holiday insurance form and her usual Lottery ticket from the newsagent just up the road. Somehow she miscalculated the amount and found she didn't have enough to do all three. She definately wanted the bread for the family's tea and was worried about not having insurance cover for their holiday. She decided that in all probability she would have wasted her £1 buying a ticket, duly posted her envelope and took home the loaf. That night there were no winners. Her usual numbers were the ones drawn..... The jackpot was around £4million. Next Monday at work we saw her. At one point someone asked her if she was bearing up ok. Her response was that she had a child progressing well in a school catering successfully for children with Special Needs (ironically it's now closed because of budget cutbacks). To her the child's progress was preferable to winning the Lottery and not seeing her child grow. I see her most days at work. She survived. I don't know how I'd react. The moral of this is, well you can guess....[:)]

Hi, I'm the father of "Lottery Man" and if you have read the Luckyherts info on the web site you will know it was me who was the cause of Luckyherts coming into existance.

quote:This is a bit of an unknown quantity but there are figures on the [url]http://www.eastspace.net/hertscf/[/url] [/url] web site. Why should I play Luckyherts? Because Hertfordshire is seen as a prestigious county and is therefore overlooked by the National Lottery. By becoming a player of Luckyherts, you will be putting money back into YOUR county as well as creating a chance of being a prize winner. The prize money may not be as high as that of the National Lottery but the chances of winning, however, are far higher! Before you reply or disreguard Luckyherts take a look at the web site and you will find we are nothing like any of the existing lotteries. We are not out to make you millionaires but hope that in raising funds for charitable causes in Hertfordshire you have the chance to win a few pounds and to get the feel good factor by doing something for others in our county. Finally, every new registration gets a free go and the first jackpot winner gets a £12000 Mini 17 for a year.

A Mini for a year? .. that's like giving a kiddie sweets, then taking them away just before they eat them.
