  2. You must be aged 16 and over and a resident in the UK to join the lottery. Underage gambling is an offence. We are committed to protecting our young people and preventing underage play.
  3. The number of entries one person can make is restricted to 20. St John’s Hospice Lottery supports Gamble Aware. Visit www.begambleaware.org for more information.
  4. Subscriptions are £1 per week per entry, payable in advance, and will be entered into the weekly draws using the unique 5 digit number per entry that you received upon joining. Unique lottery numbers are allocated at random, however a specific number may be issued on request, if available. The Lottery Lead should be contacted if this is the case. The number(s) allocated will remain the same for each draw.
  5. The lottery draws will take place each Friday and the winning numbers will be randomly selected. In the case that the Friday draw is due on a Bank Holiday, the draw will take place the day before on the Thursday.
  6. The result of each draw is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
  7. All winners will be notified by post and a cheque issued within 5 working days of the draw to the name and address of the registered owner of the winning number. Winners of prizes £50 and above will also be contacted by telephone in the first instance.

    *Each time an unallocated number is drawn for the rollover, the prize will increase by £100 and roll over to the next week. If not won, the rollover jackpot can grow to a maximum of £5,000 when it then becomes a guaranteed prize. Once the rollover is greater than £500, it will be referred to as 1st prize and the original 1st prize of £500 will be called the 2nd prize.

Once a player has cancelled their membership, their remaining credit will allow them to play until their subscription is less than the weekly membership fee.  Any income less than the weekly membership fee will be donated back to the hospice unless the members requests a refund in writing enclosing a SAE within 14 days of their cancellation.
  19. When a St John’s Hospice Lottery player is deceased, their membership is automatically cancelled once the lottery office is notified.  The next of kin or executor will then have the option to request; - transfer the lottery number into a new name- cancel and refund any remaining credit- cancel and donate any remaining credit to the hospice

St John’s Hospice Lottery is also a member of the Hospice Lotteries Association. To facilitate this, the Hospice Lotteries Association financially supports the work of Gamble Aware (formally known as Responsible Gambling Trust) – the organisation which provides this support. The annual donation of £500 made to the Gamble Aware by the Hospice Lotteries Association satisfies its members’ requirements under LCCP 3.1.1 (Combating problem gambling).
