Yes, you can have up to 20 entries per each weekly draw.
Each £1 entry buys you one “chance” of winning in our lottery.
Every entry into the draw is automatically allocated a unique lottery number. The odds of winning are fair and equal for every number. Once a number is allocated to a player it cannot be allocated again to another player.
The monthly cost breakdown of £4.34 for playing the lottery is based on paying £1 per week over a 52 week year.
Direct Debits are only collected once a month, and sometimes there will be five weeks in a month and so the additional 34p required is to build up enough credit to cover the fifth week on these five-week months.
Unfortunately, as with any charity fundraising lottery, entries are not eligible for Gift Aid. We can, however, claim Gift Aid on donations.
