A NEW survey has revealed that a quarter of people in Warrington would share a lottery windfall with charities.
The survey, conducted by OLBG, found that 25 per cent of Warrington residents would donate a portion of a £10 million lottery win to charitable causes, putting the town in joint second place for the most charitable area in the UK, alongside Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
The only place with a higher percentage was Derry, where 40 per cent of residents said they would donate some of their lottery windfall to charity.
Wolverhampton was named the least charitable town, with 0 per cent of residents saying they would donate any of their winnings to charity.
In Warrington, 3 per cent of people said they would keep all of the winnings for themselves, with 43 per cent saying they would share their winnings with immediate family only.
The survey results disclosed that 43 per cent of people across the UK would give some of their winnings away if they were lucky enough to win £10 million on the lottery, but only to immediate family.
A further 38 per cent said they would be willing to share their wealth with both friends and family, meaning a total of 81 per cent of the nation would give those close to them a payday.
However, only 12 per cent stated that they would donate some of their winnings to charity, while 3 per cent said they were unsure what they would do with such a significant sum of money.
The study highlights a general trend of generosity among the British public, with the nation donating a record £13.9 billion to charity in 2023.
