The Kilkerrin Community Development Centre Ltd., has one main source of income to maintain the Community Centre and help fund new projects. This is the Six Monthly Community Lotto Draw. The Community Lotto runs from August to January each year and includes 26 weekly jackpot draws. In 2015 the jack pot was won twice locally, and including match 3 wins over €18,000 in prizes were paid out.
There is large scale maintenance required to the Community Centre Building in the coming year and we would urge all members of the community who can afford to do so to give consideration to supporting our community council 6 month lotto so that the vital work of the Kilkerrin Community Council can continue.
