How can I play?
We’re fully subscribed at the moment but when people drop out of the draw, you can enter the draw. Players sign up for a year. Sometimes people don’t renew, or we cannot contact them about renewing because they have moved away or have changed phone numbers. Sometimes people don’t renew because their circumstances have changed.
Tell us that you want to play and we can activate your play when a space become available.
Just email signmeup@scillylottery.com
Or you can download the entry form from this website, print it off, sign it and send it to the address on the form- c/o Radio Scilly, above Island Properties, Porthmellon, St Mary's, TR21 0JY.
How much does it cost?
Each number will cost £1 per week. You sign up for 1, 2,3 or as many numbers as you like. When you sign up, you join for one year.
I don't want to have a standing order, can I pay another way?
Yes, send us a cheque made to Community Radio Isles Of Scilly or a postal order. We do ask for a minimum of £52 if paying by cheque.
How many numbers can I have?
As many as you want as we don't have a limit, but we won’t accept anyone else when we get over our cut off point of subscribers.
Can I choose my own numbers?
No, it doesn't work like that - we draw the lottery by name and not by number so don't worry about listening for it. Any numbers we use are for admin purposes only.
How will I know if I've won?
The draw is broadcast live on Radio Scilly each Monday at 12 noon. The winner will be notified and placed on this website. If those methods of announcement escape you, you’ll find out when you get a nice cheque in the mail!
How is the draw done?
All entries are put into a computerised database and an independent monitor will start the computer programme draw. The computer picks one name at random. This is overseen by an independent adjudicator who isn't participating in the lottery to ensure the draw is fair.
How quickly do I get the money should I win?
A cheque will be ready after the weekly draw.
I live outside Scilly, can I still play?
Yes, we have many players who love our islands and want to support good causes in Scilly. If you can pay in Pounds Sterling ,you can sign up!
Please Note: You can pay via a standing order with all major banks & building societies other than Nationwide. Sorry for any inconvenience, but it is beyond our control.
