This is a private lottery, open to members of the PTBI, PTF and other interested parties,
with the aim of generating a regular income for PTBI on the occasion of its 190 years of
existence in 2025. In addition, there is a chance to win a cash prize every quarter.
All members of the ‘PTBI 190 Club’ commit to a subscription of £10 per month, per ticket:
One half of the total monthly subscription will be offered as prize money, the other half
will be donated to PTBI. The greater the number of subscribers, the greater will be the
prize money and the greater the contribution to the PTBI.

Example:
If 50 persons agree to contribute £10 per month, the total amount pledged each month
will be £500, making £1,500 in a quarter.
The amount available as prize money will be half of the total £1,500 and the contribution
to PTBI will be £750. First prize: 60% (or £450), Second prize: 25% (or £225), Third Prize
15% (or £122.50).

Interested?
- As a private lottery you would have to be invited to join (but please express your
interest).
- You will need to complete an application form, confirming your commitment to
contribute £10 per ticket per month, and a point of contact for notification.
- On completion and processing, you will be allocated a “ticket number”.
- The first draw will not be made until a minimum threshold of 50 tickets have been
sold. No Direct Debits will be taken until this threshold is reached.
- The draw will take place at the quarterly meeting of the PTBI trustees at 17
Clerkenwell Green, and notification of the winning tickets will be emailed to all
participants.
- Further details can be obtained from the Secretary.
