The Lottery is promoted by the Society, 195b Drumry Road East, Drumchapel, Glasgow, G15 8NS, as a small society lottery under Schedule 11 of the Gambling Act 2005 and is registered with Glasgow City Council. The proceeds of each Draw will not exceed £20,000 and the aggregate proceeds of the Society's lotteries will not exceed £250,000 in any calendar year. Not less than 20% of the proceeds of each Draw is applied to the purposes of the Society; the Society's policy is to apply 50%.

4. Eligibility

• You must be aged 18 or over and resident in the United Kingdom.
• Trustees involved in conducting the Draw, and members of their households, may not enter.
• We may ask for proof of age and identity at any time and before paying any prize. Entries from anyone under 18 are void, any money paid is refunded and no prize is paid.
• You may only enter in your own name. Gift entries must be in the recipient's name, with their consent, and the recipient must meet these eligibility rules.

5. How to enter

Entries are made using the form on our website, by email, by phone or in person at the Sports Centre. Each Player may hold a maximum of 5 Entries per Draw. Entries are paid in advance for 4, 13, 26 or 52 consecutive Draws. An Entry is only valid for a Draw if payment has been received in cleared funds by 11:59pm on the Wednesday before that Draw.

6. Price and payment

Each Entry costs £1 per Draw. The price is the same for all Entries. Payment is made through a secure payment link sent by the Society or in person at the Sports Centre. The Society will never ask for card or bank details by email or through its website. Entries do not renew automatically.

7. Lucky Numbers and tickets

Each Entry is allocated a unique Lucky Number, confirmed to you by email. This confirmation is your ticket and states the name of the Society, the price of the Entry, the name and address of the Promoter and the Draws you are entered into. Please keep it, or a printout, for your records.

8. The draw

Draws take place every Friday at 8pm at the Sports Centre, starting on Friday 4 December 2026. Three Lucky Numbers are selected at random from all valid Entries using an independent random number generator. The Draw is recorded and witnessed by two trustees who do not participate in the Lottery. Each valid Entry has an equal chance of winning. An Entry can win only one prize per Draw. If a Draw cannot take place for reasons beyond our control, it will be held as soon as reasonably possible and Players will be notified.

9. Prizes

The prize fund for each Draw is 40% of the proceeds of that Draw, divided as follows: 1st prize 60%, 2nd prize 25%, 3rd prize 15%. Prize amounts are rounded down to the nearest penny and any remainder is applied to the purposes of the Society. Prizes are cash, are not transferable and no alternative is offered.

10. Notifying winners and paying prizes

Winners are contacted by email or phone within 3 working days of the Draw. Prizes are paid by bank transfer to an account in the winner's name within 14 days, once identity and age have been confirmed. Winners do not need to claim. The Society will never ask a winner to pay a fee to receive a prize.

11. Unclaimed prizes

If a winner cannot be contacted using the details provided, the Society will keep trying for 180 days from the date of the Draw. After that, the prize is forfeited and applied to the purposes of the Society. It is your responsibility to keep your contact details up to date.

12. Publicity

Winning Lucky Numbers and prize amounts are published on our website and Facebook page. A winner's first name, initial and area are only published with their consent.

13. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel at any time by contacting us. We will refund the cost of any paid Entries for Draws that have not yet taken place. Refunds are made within 14 days to the original payment method. Entries for a Draw cannot be cancelled after the Wednesday 11:59pm cut-off for that Draw.

14. Responsible gambling and self-exclusion

We limit every Player to 5 Entries per Draw. You may ask for a lower personal limit, a break of 1 week to 6 months, or self-exclusion for 6 months to 5 years. During self-exclusion we will close your Entries, refund unplayed Entries, stop all marketing and refuse new Entries from you. Self-exclusion cannot be ended early. We may refuse or close any Entry where we have concerns about a Player's wellbeing. Full details and support services are on our Play page.

15. Our right to refuse or void entries

We may refuse any Entry, or void any Entry or prize, if these terms are broken, if information provided is false, or if we suspect fraud or under-age play. In those cases any payment for unplayed Draws is refunded.

16. Liability

We are not responsible for Entries that are not received, late payments, or failures of email, phone or payment systems outside our control. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

17. Complaints

Please contact us first at [email protected] or 0141 944 7276. We will acknowledge your complaint within 3 working days and respond in full within 10 working days. If you are not satisfied, you may contact Glasgow City Council Licensing or the Gambling Commission. The decision of the Society's trustees on any matter concerning the Lottery is final, subject to your statutory rights.
