Dear Friends of the School, 3rd July, 2025
Subject: Support Thomas Mills and Win Big – Join Our New School Lottery!
We’re excited to announce two fantastic ways you can support Thomas Mills School and its students – by playing our brand-new School Lottery and by shopping online through easyfundraising.
Our new lottery is a fun and rewarding way to support our school community while giving yourself the chance to win fantastic prizes!
How it works:
For just £1 per ticket, you’ll be entered into two weekly prize draws each week:
- A guaranteed cash prize for one of our school’s supporters
(30% of all ticket sales from Thomas Mills!) - A £25,000 national jackpot, open to all participants across the UK
Plus, each month there’s a Superdraw Bonus Prize – in July, it’s a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle!
The more supporters who play, the bigger our weekly school prize and the more funds we raise for vital school resources and opportunities for our students.
Where your money goes:
For every £1 ticket:
- 40p supports Thomas Mills
- 36p goes into the prize fund
- 24p covers running costs
How to join:
