Ever see those 50/50 draws in corner store where if a winner has not signed up the prize increases the next week? We took that concept and changed it a bit.  Our lottery is free to enter and the winner gets the whole jackpot. Our prize will start off at a base amount and increase by this amount each week until we have a winner.

The lottery will not go live until we get 500 members to register. So spread the news by e-mail, Facebook or face-to-face. Remember it is only opened to Island residents 18 and older.

Here is how it works.

1) You enrol as member (you must be a PEI resident over 18) by using the form to the right. yes we do need all those details but we won’t share it with anyone. Once you enrol your name will remain in play (unless you ask to have it removed).

2) We send you an e-mail once a week with a “secret password”.

3) You then go to “enter contest” page and enter your name and the “secret password”.

4) On Fridays a name is drawn at random and the if that person drawn has entered his or her name and the “secret password” he or she is a winner.

5) If that person has not entered the contest for that week then he or she is a non-winner. In this case the prize is added to the next’s weeks prize. This will continue until the prize is won, At this point the weekly prize will return to its base amount.

The example below demonstrates how the weekly prize will be displayed as well as the weekly winner or non-winner.
