The Lottery act has very strict rules on how a lottery is run. These include:
- 45% of the total income is the maximum that can be used as prizes.
- 35% of the total income is the maximum that can be used on expenses.
- 20% of the total income is the minimum that must be given to the cause the lottery is using money for, in this case the CUFC development association.
The Blues Lotto will cover the whole of Cumbria and South Scotland.
Agents can have any size of area they want. They will get 15% of what they collect. If they take on an area away from where they live they will be paid a mileage allowance.
Draws: There will be a daily draw 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year and winners will be announced in the Evening News and Star, and on the Official website. There will be a list of winners in the Cumberland News at the end of the week.
There will be a Super Draw at the end of week 52 and the prize will be £10,000. The agent who sells the winning ticket will receive a bonus of £500.
The first draw will be made on the 31st July 2005 and there will be a special prize to be announced nearer the time.
There will be a second launch of the Blues Lotto at the Cumberland Show, details nearer the time.
