The draw will be made as soon as possible after the end of the previous month.
If you signed up after July 1st 2025, then your payment will be taken by GoCardless on the 1st of each month. For those who created a manual direct debit, then it will be taken based on the date you originally set it up.
Yes, as long as we receive one payment for a family. For example Mr Rolls pays one payment of £25 for five numbers for himself and his children. He would qualify for the benefits of having five numbers.
Benefits such as the signed match ball, signed shirt can be claimed after 6 payments have been made.
There is no cash equivalent prize.
We will give the balance of the account and how much has been paid out and for what purpose on a quarterly basis. We will not give details of who the money was paid to.
