Eastern region 100 club

100 club lottery - win cash prizes!

Many of us put money into lotteries, hoping to win £millions and be able to tell the boss where they can put their job!

Problem is…millions of others do as well.

Well here is your chance to shorten the odds, and whilst we can’t promise £millions, we can say you could win big money and help some of our members who suffer hardship from time to time.

For just £13.00 per year you will be entered into a bi-monthly draw with the prospect of winning 40% of the available prize money if your number is ‘first out of the hat’.

You will have six chances to win each year.

The second prize is 25%, third prize is 15%, fourth prize 10%.

This is a real opportunity to win some extra cash and help someone else all in one go.

Don’t delay! Download and fill in the Hardship Fund 100 Club form from the panel on the right and return it to your local rep, or post it direct to the PCS Regional Office.

Why should you join our club?

This is your chance to win some serious money and help members suffering financial hardship at the same time.

The membership of this club is only open to PCS members in the eastern region and so you will be part of an exclusive club with a real chance of winning!

The other big + is that the vast majority of the money collected - 90% - is paid out as prize money to members.

The remainder goes into our PCS eastern region hardship fund, so that we can give some support to our members when they suffer financial hardship.

So this is a win! win! situation.

You have a real chance of winning, whilst knowing that you are helping fellow members in need.

It couldn’t be easier – just download and fill in the Hardship Fund 100 Club form from the panel on the right, pay by standing order or cheque made out to PCS Eastern Hardship Fund, and send it back to us at the PCS Eastern Regional Office.

How much do you pay?

The first draw of the 100 club year is on 1 April and a full year’s membership is £13.00.  A draw is then done on the 1st every other month except in December when a Superdraw is done at the PCS eastern regional committee AGM with bonuses if your branch is represented.  You can join at any point in the year with reducing payments.
