To minimise administrative burden, participants should set up lottery payments as an automated monthly standing order. It is also possible to pay by cheque or BACS transfer for a minimum of 12 month entries (12 x £5 = £60). The standing order should be set up for the beginning of the month so funds are included in the draw. The cut-off date will be 21st of the month, for the draw taking place thereafter.
