Aylesbury Vale residents can now access council information via Amazon’s Alexa service

Joanne Kerr won the bike voucher after she was automatically entered into a prize draw when she signed up for the latest edition of the Vale Lottery.

Joanne started playing the Vale Lottery when she moved to the area a few years ago and chose to support Vale Lottery’s Community Fund which helps a range of local organisations.

She said: “I plan to put the voucher towards buying some bikes for the children.

“Since finding out I had won I have already encouraged friends, family and neighbours to get involved.

“It’s really lovely to be able support causes right here in the Vale.”

The prize was presented by district councillor Janet Blake, cabinet member for commercialisation and business transformation and she said: “It’s great that the Vale Lottery continues to go from strength to strength.

“We’re excited to celebrate its second birthday in the upcoming months for which we’ll have another fantastic bonus prize draw.

“Look out for that and, of course, a big thank you to all Vale Lottery supporters.”
