Our 250-Club Lottery
Will you join our 250-Club lottery? We have run it for more than 25 years and in that time it has raised tens of thousands of Pounds for charity
Why we run a 250-Club lottery
Profits from our 250-Club are donated to charities supported by us, the Rotary Club of Swindon North and Thamesdown (Registered Charity Number 1023031).
At first only our Rotary members could partake in it but now our 250-Club is available to all our supporters and friends.
Shares in each monthly draw cost £1 each and the prize for the owner of the winning share receives half of the total 250-Club income in that month. If all 250 shares are sold the prize will be £125.
There is no restriction on how many shares an individual may have.
How does our 250-Club work?
- Partakers buy shares costing £1 per month.
- The shares are entered in a monthly draw.
- EVERY month one lucky person wins up to £125 (subject to 250 shares having been sold so it could be less)
- A draw every month means partakers have 12 opportunities to win every year
- The more shares a person has, the greater are the chances of winning.
- 50% of the annual total 250-Club income is distributed to charities supported by us.
- All the proceeds of the 250 Club are paid into the Rotary Club of Swindon North and Thamesdown’s Trust Fund (Registered Charity Number 1023031). Nothing is deducted for administration costs.
