Age verification

The requirements of the Gambling Act 2005 mean that Nightingale House Hospice now has a statutory duty to verify that you are 18 years old or over.

Your payment

All subscriptions are payable in advance at a cost of £1 per number per week.  The draw will normally take place on a Friday morning.  Monthly subscriptions paid via standing order or direct debit of £4.34 include 34p to accumulate and fund a 13^th week, which occurs every three months.  Any members that have not subscribed the full entry fee for that week are NOT entered in the draw, however their membership is NOT automatically cancelled.

Cancellation

Membership cancellation can be carried out at any time.  If you pay by a regular standing order, then you must notify your bank to cancel your standing order.  Where members cancel in credit, funds will be held by Nightingale Promotions Ltd and will be utilised to fund entry into future draws (for the member, their executors or their personal representatives) until the balance falls below £1.00.  Any balance below £1.00 will become the property of Nightingale House Promotions Ltd.

Prizes and notification

You will be notified in writing of any prize that you win within one week of the draw. A cheque for your prize amount will be sent with your notification letter. Our winning weekly numbers are publicised in the local press, within Nightingale House Hospice and on our website: www.nightingalehouse.co.uk.

Doorstep collectors will be notified of a prize winner on their round. If you do not wish your collector to be notified, please let us know in writing.
