Below is a copy of the application form for entering the Federation Lottery.
If you do not know about the Lottery, here are a few details:
- It is run by the British Transport Police Federation
- Monies raised are used to assist many charitable causes; we (NARBTPO) have even received some funding from it to help with the association in the past!
- As retired BTP Officers, you are entitled to purchase "Entries" in the lottery
- The lottery draw is once per week, and you can purchase up to 5 entries per lottery
- Each entry costs £1
- Prizes:
- 1st: £1000
- 2nd: £500
- 3rd to 5th will depend on how many "Entries" are in the draw, usually between £50 and £70
- Paying for your "Entries": You may have been entering the Lottery while you were serving, but the payments were taken from your weekly payroll. As a retired officer you need to make the payment by Standing Order and to keep administration to a minimum you need to purchase 4 week's worth of "Entries" in each payment (so your standing order should be for £4 for 1 "Entry" per week, £8 for 2, £12 for 3, £16 for 4 or £20 for 5) and so obviously the standing order needs to be set to repeat every 4 weeks.
- After you submit your completed application form, you will be contacted by the organisers with the bank details and the "Payment Reference" to include on the Standing Order so they can match the payment to you (otherwise they won't know who to send the winnings to!).
