Weather lottery
By supporting our Weather lottery scheme you will help us to provide support and fund vital research into Spinal Muscular Atrophy so we can offer ‘Help for today and Hope for Tomorrow’ to all who need us.
How Does It Work?
The great thing about The Great Weather Lottery it is you don't share a jackpot. If you Match 6 numbers you get £10,000, if anyone else has the same numbers as you they also get £10,000. This is possible because we've joined with other Charities, Sporting Clubs, Schools, and Societies, with all the prize money held in trust. The prizes are guaranteed by Lloyds of London.
A simple form allows you to choose 6 numbers between 0-9 for a line. Each line costs £1 a week; you can have up to 3 lines a week. Each line is entered into a daily draw Monday to Friday, therefore you get five chances a week for your £1
The winning numbers are obtained by taking the last digit of the temperature in Fahrenheit, in six world cities, Corfu, Istanbul, Tenerife, Innsbruck, Edinburgh and Stockholm as reported each day Monday to Friday in The Daily Telegraph. (That's why its called "The Great Weather Lottery")
Where does your money go?
35% of the funding goes directly to the JTSMA, 45% goes to the provision of prizes and the insurance premium, which covers the £200 and £10,000, wins. The Great Weather Lottery supplies all the forms and does all the administration of the lottery apart from finding participants; this is totally cost and risk free to the JTSMA.
It is simple, there's no hidden catch, and costs as little as 20 pence per day to enter with a convenient monthly standing order mandate - meaning no last minute dashes to the newsagents! (You can also pay by cheque if you wish). You don't even have to check the numbers yourself as you're notified automatically when you're a winner! If you want to check your numbers then you can always use the Weather Lottery web site, the Daily Telegraph or by ringing The Great Weather Lottery on 0113 203 1300.
