Play win for wildlife lottery

Each lottery entry in Win for Wildlife gets assigned a unique number. Each lottery number costs £2 and will be entered into the prize draw once every month. These numbers are submitted into a Random Number Generator. 

The lottery number drawn first wins the 1^st prize, the second number drawn wins the 2^nd prize, the third drawn wins 3^rd prize and so on. We do not host rollovers. The draw takes place on the 20^th of every month (or the next working day if the 20^th falls on a weekend or Bank Holiday).

Cumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the winning lottery numbers on the Cumbria Wildlife Trust website monthly. If a player does not have internet access, they are welcome to call our Lottery Team on 01539 816300 (Monday to Friday 10.00am – 4.00pm) to find out if they have won.

Prize cheques are automatically issued to the winners and posted out.

North West Wildlife Trusts reserve the right to publish winners’ names for publicity purposes, but will be deliberately vague and not include both first and last names simultaneously (e.g., Mr Taylor, from Barrow / Sharron, from Preston).

Win for Wildlife is drawn monthly. 

The first three people to be drawn are deemed winners for the month:

1^st Drawn = £500 prize

2^nd Drawn = £100 prize

3^rd Drawn = £25 prize

Runners up - there tend to be several runners up, depending on how many entries we receive. 

Each entry for Win for Wildlife costs £2 a month. This can be paid by Direct Debit (using the paper form)**, online as an annual payment, or by cheque, also as an annual payment.

The Wildlife Trusts support responsible gambling. Please visit the BeGambleAware website if you think you or someone you know, has a problem with gambling. For immediate help and advice, telephone the BeGambleAware National Helpline on 0800 8020 133 – lines are open 8.00am – midnight.

Our commitment to responsible gambling:

To promote responsible gambling, we’ve placed a limit on the number of entries an individual can have on our Win for Wildlife Lottery. Each participant can enter a maximum of 10 numbers per month.

Please tell us if you do not want to receive marketing correspondence about our lottery or future raffles and wish to opt out of all gambling related products from Cumbria Wildlife Trust. Email lottery@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk , telephone 01539 816300 or write to Cumbria Wildlife Trust Plumgarths, Crook Road, Kendal, Cumbria, LA8 8LX. 

Every lottery number is generated automatically and your unique number (you are allocated one number per entry), will be assigned to you when you sign up. So, unfortunately, you can’t dictate your number. You will be notified of your unique number(s) once your lottery application has been processed.

We aim to publish the winning numbers on our website as soon as the monthly draw has been made. This takes place on the 20^th of the month (or the next working day). In terms of claiming your prize, you don’t need to do anything – we will aim to pop your winnings in the post within 10 working days of the draw taking place (but please bear in mind, we can’t control how long delivery will take).

Yes – we support responsible gambling and therefore we have put a cap on the number of monthly entries an individual can make, which is 10 (equivalent to £20/month).

On the 20^th of every month (or the next working day), the lucky winners are selected at random using a Random Number Generator.

Please contact our Lottery Team, either by emailing lottery@cumbriawildlife.org.uk or telephoning 01539 816300 and we will make the necessary steps to cancel your lottery membership. If you have set up a Direct Debit, you will need to contact your bank to cancel this. Please also notify us.

We realise that we might make mistakes sometimes. We truly value all feedback about our work and we view complaints as an opportunity to improve and learn. It is therefore really important that you feedback any grievances you may have so that we can address any issues as quickly as possible.
