Linlithgow Academy Lottery

The Linlithgow Academy Lottery is a monthly prize draw run by members of Linlithgow Academy Parent Council, where 50% of funds generated makes up the lottery prizes and 50% goes to the Linlithgow Academy Parent Council funds which are used towards resources and initiatives identified by the school.

Membership is open to anyone over 16 years of age who has an interest in supporting Linlithgow Academy Parent Council's fundraising goals.

Each number purchased will cost £10 for our 2024 Lottery and will give you entry for 10 draws.

Each month for 10 months there will be three prizes: 1st prize will be 50% of the lottery prize allocation 2nd prize will be 30% of the lottery prize allocation 3rd prize will be 20% of the lottery prize allocation. Eg. With 100 numbers sold the total income will be £1000 therefore the prize allocation will be £500 which will be split over 10 months meaning there will be £50 in prize money each month in total.

In this example prizes would be as follows: 1st prize £25; 2nd prize £15; 3rd prize £10 ... with 200 numbers sold .... double that!
