What is it?

The Great Weather Lottery is a nationwide lottery which runs each weekday. The lottery is run for specific organisations, with those organisations benefiting directly from sales. The scheme has been running since 1998 and is run by sports clubs, schools, charities and other organisations up and down the country – Leeds United Football Club, Everton and Nottingham Forest to name but a few. The Helsby Rugby Club Great Weather Lottery is now up and running and more than a third of all lottery sales will now come back directly to our club to aid us in our work.

How to play

The Lottery is really fun to play. Simply select six single lucky numbers (between 0-9) to play in our daily game (5 days a week, Monday – Friday).

Every day we will take the last digit of the recorded temperature (in Fahrenheit) as reported in the Daily Telegraph for six locations and scan all the entries to see who has won! You can check your numbers daily through The Daily Telegraph.

Corfu 93 Istanbul 84 Tenerife 90 Innsbruck 70 Edinburgh 55 Stockholm 61

The £10,000 winning combination is: 340051
So if you pick numbers: 340051
THEN YOU MATCH 6 AND WIN £10,000

What’s in it for us as a club?

35% of Lottery Sales are returned to us to aid us in our work.

Other benefits…

• All administration (processing applications, checking winning lines, paying out winnings) is done for us.
• Players must pay by either Standing Order or cheque for a minimum of 13 weeks at a time, so there’s no need to be selling tickets every week.
• There is obviously a lot of ill-feeling about the National Lottery at present because of how the proceeds are being distributed to “charities”. Local people may be more than willing to support a local lottery, knowing that the proceeds are going to stay local!

What’s in it for me?

Apart from the opportunity to win £10,000 every day(!) and knowing that your raising money for a cause close to your heart(!) we’d also like to offer some incentives to encourage our members to sell lines on our behalf (note: not to necessarily play the lottery themselves, but to sell lines to friends, family and work colleagues…)

Consequently, the following reward scheme is open to members of Helsby RUFC who introduce new members to the Helsby Rugby Club Lottery...

Sell a minimum of FIFTY lines and for as long as those lines are being played, in addition to the above, Helsby Rugby Club will pay for you to go on tour for FREE*, EVERY YEAR!!!

*Up to a maximum cost of £200

To qualify for these free gifts, members should write their name on the entry form in the box marked VOLUNTEER. You may use the on-line application form or official entry forms which are available at the club.
