Welton Memorial Club

100 Club Lottery Rules

For a payment of £5 each month, you will be entered into a draw with a maximum of 100 fellow members of Welton Memorial Club. Each monthly draw will have the following approximate prizes (see note 11):

First prize of £150, 2 prize of £50 and 3 prize of £25 except in December when the first prize will be £500!

The Lottery will be strictly limited to 100 members. For the modest contribution of £5 a month you will not only be supporting the Club, but also giving yourself the chance of winning the Christmas top prize of £500.

All you have to do is complete the attached application form authorising payment by standing order each month.
