--- title: "School Lottery" url: "https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/fundraising-priory/school-lottery" school: "Penwortham Priory Academy" --- # School Lottery This lottery has been set up specifically to help us achieve our vision in creating inspiring learning spaces and experiences for our current and future generations of pupils. Your School Lottery is part of the Gatherwell Ltd lottery group which was launched with a core value of being an ethical lottery provider to help schools facing growing financial pressure. ‘Your School Lottery’ is a fantastic way to bring parents, carers, teachers and the wider community together, in partnership with our school, and at the same time give something back. We hope to raise funds that allow us to develop and enhance our facilities to aid learning and teaching for all our pupils' benefit. While we actively raise funds to help provide such facilities, each year we rely on the support of our community to make our efforts go even further. By taking part, the children here at Priory, will benefit directly regardless of who wins, as every penny raised goes straight back to our school. There is a guaranteed cash winner for the school each week and the chance to win the £25,000 jackpot! You can choose to set up a direct debit, a recurring card payment or a one-off payment by card (the minimum term for this is 5 weeks at £5). Every supporter who buys a ticket will be making a difference to Priory. Please do share this with your friends, family members and co-workers. Please note that all supporters must be 18 years of age or older. To find out more information in how you can take part, please visit our ‘Your School Lottery’ web page to purchase your tickets.
