Skoolfunder pays winners directly. If more than one line matches, the Jackpot is shared equally, and it’s £2,000 again the next week. The £20 Lucky Dip prize is a digital prepaid card sent by email to the winner.
£500 bonus prizes may also be offered during the year — we announce each bonus draw and its rules in advance.

0500
Each person pays £2.50 a week to play and support, paid as £10 every 4 weeks. 50% of every payment goes directly to your school the moment it's made.
100 players = £1,000 of lotto fundraising sales every 4 weeks, of which £500 is allocated to your school's connected account every 4 weeks - that's £6,500 annually, £125 weekly.
Every school can do this —
no matter what the size or location.
