Message to all Swanage Railway supporters from the Swanage Railway Trust

Update from Roger Orchard - dated 4th Feb 2008

Roger Orchard, who is the official promoter of the Swanage Railway Trust's popular fund-raising Weather Lottery, advises us that the organisers of the Swanage Railway Trust's £10,000 Daily Lottery lottery have announced a Special £100,000 Draw with £50,000 going to the winner and £50,000 going to the winner's organisation - in our case the Swanage Railway Trust!

The opportunity is open to organisations which increase their playing lines by 20 by the 29th February 2008. Players must sign up through the Online System and the Special Draw will take place on Friday 4th April 2008.

To participate, enter securely on-line at the organisers' website by clicking here or on the £10,000 DAILY ball below.

This Swanage Railway Trust's Weather Lottery is helping raise funds needed for the aims of the Swanage Railway Trust. Our goals include:
- re-establish a daily train service to connect Swanage with the main line at Wareham
- help create a comprehensive historical record of steam railways and steam technology of Southern England

Previously the lottery could only be entered in paper form. This option is still available, if preferred, by downloading a copy of the entry form by clicking on the image to the right.

The Weather Lottery is lots of fun and the Swanage Railway Trust will receive 35% of all plays. This is a fantastic earning potential which will help in our fundraising targets.

We run a transparent Lottery based on weather temperatures. You can check your daily numbers in The Daily Telegraph or online at http://www.theweatherlottery.com.

How it works:

Choose 6 Numbers from 0-9.

We match your chosen numbers against the second digit of daily temperatures in fahrenheit in destinations around Europe as follows:

Sample Line

Corfu

Istanbul

Tenerife

Innsbruck

Edinburgh

Stockholm

The £10,000 winning combination is 361724
So if you pick numbers 3 - 6 - 1 - 7 - 2 - 4
THEN YOU MATCH 6 AND WIN £10,000.

match 3 numbers and you	WIN	£2.00
match 4 numbers and you	WIN	£20.00
match 5 numbers and you	WIN	£200.00
match 6 numbers and you	WIN	£10,000.00

To date The Weather Lottery has paid out over £ 5,000,000 in prizes.

It costs only £1 per week - that’s 25p per day - for four draws Monday to Thursday and you can win up to £ 10,000 Daily.

When you play on-line, you do so through the HSBC secure e-payments system, so you know that your details are secure.
