2. Rotherham Hospice Lottery started in September 1995
for the princely sum of
per number per week

3. For the following 19 years
Our costs grew but our profit did not

4. Although our membership was growing so were the running costs

5. We weighed up all the options

6. We had 3 choices

7. 2nd Number Campaign
This might have been a short term fix but on the previous 2nd number campaigns we knew it was not going to give us the revenue that was needed – we would have still been juggling our numbers

8. Increase Lottery Membership
We were already doing this but the more members we got the more our costs increased so this really was not a viable option

9. Charge £2.00 per number!!!!!!

10. After deliberating and cogitating
We chose option 3

11. To make it more attractive we introduced a 2nd draw

12. 2 draws = 2 chances to win

13. Draw 1 stayed the same

14. Draw 2 is a one off prize of £1000 with a rollover element

15. Was it a success?
