Horsham Lions Club begins selling tickets for Christmas raffle 2021

Participants in the raffle will have the chance to win one of six different prizes, with all funds raised to go towards funding the Lions Club's community programs.

The first prize, a trailer and collection of gifts, is valued at around $4000.

Horsham Lions Club member Marvin Bell said the trailer was made locally by Horsham Trading and Engineering.

"The gifts are more camping than anything. There is a tent, fridge, stove, chairs and some airbeds. A heap of toys, plus the trailer goes with it," he said.

Mr Bell said the group was excited to be able to host the Christmas raffle in 2021, after having to cancel the raffle in 2020 due to COVID-19.

"All funds go towards the Lions Club and the local community," he said.

"We distribute our money around the local area and 99 per cent of the money goes to groups around the region."

There will be 7000 $2 tickets available to the public, with the winners drawn on December 22 at 7pm.

The Wimmera Mail-Times will publish the winners on January 5.
