Janet Galpin was delighted to recieve her prize and is very happy to see the benefits going to her chosen charity - Dyscover, a specialist charity based in Leatherhead, who provide long-term support and opportunity for people with aphasia, a communication disability often caused by a stroke, brain injury or a rare form of dementia.

Janet said: "I never win anything, so this was a real surprise! Dyscover is an amazing, professional, and helpful charity, who have done so much to support my husband. I'm planning to donate some of my winnings to them. The Mole Valley Community Lottery is a great way to support a local charity. Setting up the direct debit to play was really easy to do - you don't have to worry about it, as the money just comes out each week, but there is the option to pay for tickets by debit card, so you can play when you like"

Councillor Claire Malcomson, Cabinet Member for Climate Change said: "The scheme is a wonderful way to support local projects that make a real difference to our residents’ lives, as well as help protect our precious environment.
