  • Why is it £5 a month?

    LUSU Club Lottery is a recurring monthly payment of £5. Each successful payment entitles you to have 1 chance in the next 4 draws (£4) and will accrue additional credits to allow the supporter to play in the draw when there is a 5 week month (34p). The remaining unused credit (66p) is treated as a donation to the charity Lancaster University Students’ Union. On this basis, the supporter will need to have 3 month's worth of payments to accrue enough credits to participate in any 5 week month draw (3x 34p). If the player has not accrued enough credit within a 5 week month - they will miss the final 5th draw of that month, and resume the following week.
