How it works

A simple weekly lottery with fixed prizes, clear odds and half of every pound going to the club.

Entering

Each entry is a set of 4 different numbers from 1 to 32. You can choose your own or use Lucky Dip. One entry costs £1 per weekly draw and you can hold up to 5 entries. Payment is taken monthly in advance, and your entries are included in every Friday draw that your payment covers.

Entries must be paid for by 11:59pm on Thursday to be included in that Friday's draw. Your numbers stay the same each week unless you ask us to change them.

The draw

The draw takes place every Friday at 8:00pm. Four different winning numbers from 1 to 32 are generated by an independent, certified random number generator. The weekly prize draw winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) are then selected at random from all valid entries. Each draw is overseen by two club trustees who do not play the lottery, and a record is kept.

If more than one entry matches all 4 numbers, the Jackpot is shared equally. The same applies to Match 3. Each entry costs £1 per weekly draw.

Odds

There are 35,960 possible combinations of 4 numbers from 32, so each entry has a 1 in 35,960 chance of winning the Jackpot and about a 1 in 321 chance of matching 3. The chance of winning the weekly prize draw depends on how many entries there are that week. Please remember that most entries will not win a prize.

Winning and getting paid

You do not need to claim. If you win, we email you within 48 hours and pay your prize by bank transfer within 14 days. Before paying, we may ask you to confirm your identity and age. Prizes not claimed within 180 days go to the club.

Stopping or changing your entries

Email [email protected] at any time to reduce, pause or cancel. Cancellations take effect from the next draw not yet paid for.

18+

Age limit and responsible gambling

You must be 18 or over to play the Pinkston Panthers Lottery. The legal minimum age for society lotteries in Great Britain is 16, but we have chosen a strict 18+ policy. We carry out age and identity checks; entries from anyone under 18 are void, the money is refunded and no prize is paid.

Lotteries are a form of gambling. Play for fun and to support the club, never to make money or to recover losses. Set a budget you can afford and stick to it.
