Valley United Soccer Club
Cash Lottery, Winter 2024/25 - Details & FAQs
Lottery # AGD-347393-24
Valley United has created our own Cash Lottery. A $50 fundraising fee is paid at registration, and selling these tickets allows players to earn back this fee to reduce out of pocket expenses. Our goal is to have more winners from within our club, as well as to reduce the administrative overhead for our club volunteers. Funds raised from this lottery help offset club expenses and keep our registration fees the lowest of all the Tier 1 clubs.
Lottery Details:
- Each player will be given a book of 10 tickets, which can be sold for $5 each, to earn back the fundraising fee. Any money collected is kept by the player.
- There will be 15 draws throughout the season for $200 each as well as a final additional draw for $400 (a total of $3400 in prize money).
- The first draw for $200 will take place on Sunday, November 24, 2024
- The final $200 draw will happen on Sunday, March 2, 2025
- On March 9th, all tickets that were drawn throughout the winter season will go back into the draw, for the final $400 draw.
- Each ticket sold is kept in the draw for all draw dates.
Draws will be conducted by our Club Administrator at the CURC in Kentville
How do I get my tickets?
