Join The CTBF Lottery - Everyone's a Winner!

The Cinema & Television Benevolent Fund are launching their very own weekly lottery. The odds of winning are better than good - for only £1 a week you gain hundreds of chances a year to win a cash prize!

The first draw will take place on Friday 29th July 2005, and every Friday thereafter. On becoming a member of the CTBF Lottery you will be allocated a five figure membership number that is unique to you.

Every Friday a computer randomly selects three weekly prize winners. There is no need to claim as prizes will automatically be sent to the winners. A list of all weekly winning numbers will be found on the CTBF website, www.ctbf.co.uk and will also be available via the Lottery Hotline number: 0870 050 1694.

What could you do with your prize money?

Weekly Prizes

1st Prize £450
Could you be tempted by a weekend in Prague or by getting behind the wheel of one of the world's ultimate sports cars?

2nd Prize £200
Perhaps you'd spend your cash being pampered at a health farm or take a trip in a hot air balloon.

3rd prize £100
Would you decide on dinner and a night at the theatre or for the more adventurous, a 1 day windsurfing course?

There is no limit to the number of chances you can buy. The more entries, the more chances you have to win a weekly cash prize! Why not form a syndicate with friends, family members or work colleagues - a bit of healthy competition can be fun!

Prize money aside, for only £1 a week you can really make a difference to people's lives. The CTBF supports people facing hardship, who work 'Behind the Camera' in the film, cinema, commercial television and affiliated industries and helps improve the lives of thousands of beneficiaries a year. Your support of the CTBF Lottery will go directly to helping people who really need it. Please become a Lottery Member today and help make 'Everyone a Winner!'
