  5. Underage gambling is an offence and legally players must be aged 16 or over to enter lotteries. The rules for this lottery require entrants to be over the age of 16, therefore players will be required to provide their DOB and to affirm that they are of legal age. Dogs Trust reserves the right to require proof of identity and age. Any person who has entered and/or participated in the Lottery who is subsequently found to be underage will:
     
    • Forfeit any prize and will be excluded from any future entries.
    • Receive a full refund
    • Not receive any prizes that might have been due to them, and if prizes have already been paid out, all reasonable attempts will be made to recover them.
       
  6. Based on predicted sales in 2022 of £1 entry per week, the likelihood of winning a prize is 1 in 71.
     
  7. The prizes for the lottery are:
     
    • First prize £1000
    • Second prize £350
    • Third prize £150

  8. The cost of each chance is £1 per week. Players can take a maximum of 10 chances per week and payment must be received (and cleared) before entry to the weekly draw. Entry will be paid by monthly Direct Debit, £4 or £5, or multiples of these amounts if you have more than one chance. Payment will be collected directly from your bank account, dependent on the number of draws in between your payment dates. This will enable entries to be made into every draw.
     
  9. The lottery draw will take place every Friday, where the draw date falls on a bank holiday the draw will take place the following working day.
     
  10. The draws are conducted using a random number generator (RNG), tested and approved by a Gambling Commission certified test house. To produce the winning numbers for each weekly draw 5 numbers from 1 to 49 will be selected at random and all the eligible chances checked for any 5 number matches, in any order. If a player has more than one line of numbers (chances) each line of numbers has to be unique. Players not wishing to choose their own numbers will be given randomly allocated numbers generated by the system. Different players may be able to have the same set of numbers as another player. If the first prize is drawn and more than one player has that set of numbers, the prize value will be shared equally between each winner. If the second prize is drawn and more than one player has five of the winning numbers, the prize value will be shared equally between each winner. The draw is over once all prizes have been won. There are no rollovers.
     
  11. These Terms and Conditions are the Lottery Rules. By entering the Lottery, players agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, which are available at www.dogstrust.org.uk/lottery.
