How Funds Are Used

The ASL is a series of weekly lotteries. Tickets cost £0.75 each per week with a maximum of 5 tickets per person. Winners are determined by a random number selector system. The draw takes place every Friday and is independently witnessed. Prize winners are notified by post. All units are notified by email and results are announced on local Service’s radio, where the service exists and Soldier Magazine.

Participating in the Army Sports Lottery not only offers you the chance to win up to £10,000 each week, but it also supports vital activities for members. With weekly tickets priced at just £0.75, you can invest in your community while enjoying the thrill of the draw. Every Friday, winners are selected randomly and notified promptly, ensuring excitement and transparency. Additionally, by becoming an ASL member, you may qualify for grants that help cover travel expenses for authorized unit tours within the UK or Germany.
