NWL Community Lottery
Understanding the NWL Community Lottery
The North West Leicestershire Community Lottery is a weekly lottery associated with local fundraising. Coalville Public Radio is listed as one of its supported causes. This page explains that relationship and the information to check about the lottery.
Three things to understand.
How funding is allocated
A portion of ticket revenue goes to local causes. The total for good causes is different from the amount allocated to an individual organisation such as CPR.
Prizes are not guaranteed
This is a lottery. Paying for a ticket does not guarantee a prize or a financial return.
Check the operator's information
Eligibility, payment arrangements, prize conditions and any special-draw deadlines are set out in the operator's current rules.
CPR's connection to the lottery.
Coalville Public Radio's cause listing describes funding needs including broadcasting equipment, volunteer training, outside broadcasts and community programming.
CPR is a volunteer-powered community station. Its involvement as a listed cause is separate from the operation of the lottery and the administration of draws and prizes.
Your questions, explained.
Does all ticket revenue go to CPR?
No. Ticket revenue is divided between several purposes. Consult the operator's current funding breakdown to distinguish CPR's share from wider community funding, prizes and operating costs.
Where can I check eligibility and rules?
Refer to the lottery operator's current terms for age and residency restrictions, draw arrangements, prize conditions and cancellation information. Special draws may have separate terms and closing dates.
What about special-draw announcements?
Promotions are time-limited. An old poster or undated announcement should not be treated as evidence that a particular prize is currently available.
Who handles lottery account or payment questions?
Contact the lottery operator for account, payment, cancellation or prize enquiries. CPR's studio message form is for contacting the station and its presenters.
Keep the risks in view.
Lottery participation involves spending money on an uncertain outcome. It should not be treated as a way to earn money or resolve financial difficulties.
