How can I play?
Fill in the entry form on this site, print it off, sign it and send it
to FREEPOST CARMARTHENSHIRE LOTTERY. Leaflets are also available from
by calling 01267 221071.
How much does it cost?
Each number cost £1 a week. To make the administration of the lottery
easier, entries are paid for a minimum of four weeks, but you can also
pay monthly, quarterly or annually. If you only want 1 number, you pay
£4 every four weeks, £4.34 monthly, £13 a quarter or £52 annually.
I don't like standing orders, can I pay another way?
Yes, send us a cheque or postal order. We do ask for a minimum of £13
if paying by cheque.
I don't have a bank account, can I still play?
Yes, you can pay by postal order.
How many numbers can I have?
As many as you like! There is no limit; it's a £1 per number per week.
Can I choose my own numbers?
No, you are allocated the next number in line and you keep that number
for as long as you choose to play.
What are the odds of me winning?
At the beginning of January 2008, there were 2,500 people playing
Carmarthenshire Lottery. The odds are therefore 1 in 2,500.
If there are only 2,500 people in the lottery, why is my number over 3,000?
For administration purposes the numbers allocated were started at
1,000.
How will I know if I've won?
The draw is broadcast on Radio Carmarthenshire every Friday at 10:45am
and the winner is publicised in the Carmarthen Journal, Llanelli Star,
Ammanford Guardian and on this website.
Do I have to claim?
No, we will contact you if you win.
Do I have to have my photo in the paper?
We reserve the right to publicise winners but we will not force you to
have your photo in the paper! We would hate that to prevent you from playing.
Who runs the lottery?
The lottery is run by the directors of the Camarthenshire Lottery
Society, administered and managed by Michelle Rees.
Where does the money go?
After paying the prize money and expenses such as the marketing,
premises and staff, the rest of the proceeds will go to Carmarthenshire
businesses in the form of interest free loans.
When is the draw?
The draw is carried out every Friday at 10:45am
How is the draw done?
All lottery entries are put on a special computer database, every
Friday an independent person is asked to press the 'draw' button on the

number out of the entries.

draw is done.
