The prizes every week are as follows:
1st Prize £750
2nd Prize £100
3rd Prize £25
4th Prize £10
Plus many £5 prizes!
What’s it all about then? I hear you ask.
The lottery is drawn every Friday and there are many prizes to be won. To join the lottery, you will need to complete a simple application form. The customer pays 2 weeks (i.e. £2.00) in advance. These payments can be fortnightly to the collector (if one is available for your area), quarterly, half yearly and yearly on a standing order or by cheque or credit card for a number of weeks in advance.
The customer details are then entered into the main computer and applicants are sent a letter, thanking them for joining and allocating them a membership number along with a six digit lottery number. This lottery number is entered into the draw every Friday as long as the customer is up to date in their payments.
If, for any reason, a customer does not pay for a week or number of weeks, the number is retained by the computer but not entered for that draw.
£1 lottery tickets can be obtained from any St. Clare’s Shop or from the reception desk at the Hospice itself.
You cannot accumulate debt!
Each Friday, the draw is made and the computer prints out the winning cheques which in turn are then sent out to the winners. A list of the winning numbers are on display at the Hospice, in the Hospice shops and usually in the Local Press.
Members paying by cheque or credit card will receive a reminder by post when their advance payments are due for renewal.
