Thanks to John for details of this week’s Lifeboat Lotto draw. Ed
There’s a super rollover Jackpot bonus for the Isle of Wight’s Lifeboat Lotto, after the winning numbers for first draw went unclaimed.
The draw was made live on Isle of Wight Radio’s afternoon show, with presenter Emily Wells on Thursday, 5th May.
The winning numbers drawn in the Newport studio were 10, 19, 28 and 29 – but because no-one picked them – next week’s jackpot prize has been boosted to £600.
The next draw will be made on Wednesday May 11th.
Background on Lifeboat Lotto
Lifeboat Lotto was launched on the Island in February to help raise essential funds for the local independent lifeboats.
The Island Independent Lifeboat Lotto is a welcome fundraising lifeline for the volunteers and a way for donors to enjoy the chance of winning a cash prize of up to £5,000.
Island crews based at Ryde, Sandown and Freshwater provide and finance their essential service themselves and that means they need to raise up to £40,000 a year just to meet basic operational running costs.
How does it work?
Island Independent Lotto is easy – and fun. Entry is only £2 a week and there are no weekly entries to fill in, just pick four numbers between one and 31 and fill them on the application form.
You only need to do this once as your numbers are then registered in the Island Independent Lifeboat Lotto computer and are entered into each weekly draw for as long as you pay.
Paying is easy too, no hands in pockets or purses, payment is made by either cheque for £52 which covers six months entries or by monthly or quarterly Standing Order. No cash changes hands – Nothing could be easier.
Island Independent Lifeboat Lotto is a local weekly lottery, it is not part of a national scheme, and all funds raised will go to the three Isle of Wight independent lifeboats.
Match four numbers and you will win the roll-over jackpot which starts at £500 and increases by £100 a week until a winner is found. If no one matches the numbers drawn, a winner is guaranteed when the jackpot reaches £5000. Match three numbers and win a £20 consolation prize.
There is no need to claim, all winners will be paid directly and winning numbers will be published each week on the Lifeboat Lotto website.
