RESIDENTS are in with a chance of winning £25,000 after a council launched its own online lottery.
South Oxfordshire District Council has started the initiative to raise funds for local community groups and charities.
For a £1 weekly entry fee, people will be entered in to an online draw and be in with the chance of winning prizes, ranging from free prize draw tickets to a £25,000 jackpot.
Each ticket bought has a 1 in 56 chance of winning a prize, the council claims.
