Axmouth fishermen launch lobster lottery for NHS and care home staff

Axmouth fishermen are showing their appreciation to local NHS and care home staff by holding a unique 'Lobster Lottery Lucky Dip' - thought to be the only initiative of its kind in the country.

Care homes in Seaton and Axmouth have the opportunity to win five lobsters to treat their staff, and NHS workers can enter to win one of three lobsters up for grabs.

All you have to do is put the care home name and contact number or, for the individual prize, your own name and contact number, on a piece on paper and leave it in the appropriate container at Just Fish in Harbour Road, Seaton, by 12noon on Wednesday, June 24.

A randomly-selected customer at Just Fish will pick the winners on Wednesday afternoon, and the lobsters will be cooked by Just Fish on Thursday, June 24 ready for collection on Friday.
