New scratch cards are just the ticket for rail travellers

The People’s Postcode Lottery has joined forces with Arriva Trains Wales to offer passengers across Wales the chance to win every time they travel!

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Scott Quinnell took a trip to Cardiff Central Station to unveil a new scratch card which will be handed out to customers buying tickets for ARRIVA train services in Wales.

Each card gives travellers the chance to scratch and win thousands of great prizes, including Apple iPads, SLR digital cameras and Playstation 3s. The scratch cards also offer Arriva Trains Wales passengers the opportunity to play People’s Postcode Lottery free for a  month – giving them 5 chances to win £30,000.

Scott Quinnell said:  “I’m delighted that People’s Postcode Lottery and ARRIVA have come together to offer these great scratch cards. With so many fabulous prizes on offer, you can’t afford to miss out. So if you’re planning a trip this month, make sure you take the train and don’t forget to pick up your  free  ticket.”

“By playing People’s Postcode Lottery, not  only are you in with a chance to win big money, you are also helping to support your  local community. 40p from every ticket you buy goes to charities in Wales, like Missing People and Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. “

Katrina Tzannis, Spokesperson for Arriva Trains Wales commented: “This is a great opportunity for our passengers to win some fantastic prizes and we are delighted to team up with organisations such as The People’s Postcode Lottery who support such worthy causes”.

The offer runs from until November 26 – and with 250,000 scratch cards to give away each week, there will be plenty of chances to win.

People’s Postcode Lottery is a unique community lottery which launched in Wales in June 2010. For just £10 a month, players’ postcodes are entered into 5 monthly draws – each with a top prize pot of £30,000 and thousands of bonus prizes. Plus Wales has the added bonus of an exclusive Welsh only prize draw, awarding £5,000 to one lucky Cymru postcode area every week.

As a charity lottery, 40p from the every ticket goes to local charities and community initiatives in Wales. People’s Postcode Lottery players across Great Britain have raised over £9 million for charity so far.
