What is the Black Rat 900 Lottery?

 

 

The Black Rat 900 Lottery has been established by the Black Rat Fund to provide a source of income to the fund. 

 

By raising funds through the Black Rat 900 Lottery, the Black Rat Fund can continue to provide social and welfare support, and other facilities, for the efficiency and well being of the servicemen, servicewomen and their immediate families who are part of 4th Mechanized Brigade.

How does the Black Rat 900 Lottery work?

 

The Black Rat 900 Lottery is a series of monthly lotteries where each ticket costs £1.00 each per month, with a maximum of 3 tickets allowed per person. 

 

Each lottery ticket holder is randomly allocated two numbers, each between 01 and 30.  This gives a maximum of 900 lottery tickets in each draw, hence the name!  Ticket holders will be notified of their allocated numbers once their application form and payment has been received and processed.

 

The lottery is drawn 12 times per year on the second Wednesday of each month. 

 

Three prizes are drawn each month by our Random Number Generator system which is provided by physicscience.org.  The draw is independently witnessed. 

 

 

A First Prize of £500 is awarded to the first set of numbers drawn

 

Two Consolation Prizes of £50 each are awarded

to the 2nd and 3rd sets of numbers drawn

 

 

 

Tickets are only sold in sets of 12 - in other words your set of numbers will be entered into the draw every month for one year giving you 36 chances to win - all for the small sum of £12.00! 

 

Winners are notified by telephone / email and the results are also posted here on the Black Rat Fund website, on the 4th Mechanized Brigade webpage 4HOME, and announced on Garrison Radio.
