FREE POSTAL ENTRY
National 50:50 CIC (“National 50:50”) offers an alternative free method of entering the National 50:50 Prize Draw. No purchase is necessary to enter by this method.
The free postal entry route provides entrants with the same opportunity to win as a paid entry. A valid postal entry will be treated as one entry into the specified National 50:50 Prize Draw.
To enter by post, you must write clearly or type the following information on a blank sheet of paper or postcard:
- Your full legal name
- Your residential address. PO Box addresses are not accepted
- City or town
- Postcode
- Telephone number, optional
- Email address
- The National 50:50 Prize Draw you wish to enter
Each National 50:50 Prize Draw will be identified by a unique Draw Number corresponding to the calendar week in which the draw takes place.
For example:
National 50:50 Draw No. 35
The information must be written clearly or typed in a legible typeface. Entries that cannot reasonably be read or verified may be treated as invalid.
