How it works
After years of competition tickets selling out in minutes, we introduced a fair ballot system that gives everyone an equal chance to compete. Entries for 2026 have now closed and if you were unsuccessful, you'll get improved odds if you enter the 2027 ballot.
- Pay £5 to enter the ballot, this reserves your spot in the draw and supports our local community.
- Wait for the draw. We conduct draws periodically and email you the results.
- If you're successful, you have 4 days to register your details, then 3 days to purchase your competition ticket(s).
- If you're unsuccessful, you get improved odds in next year's ballot.
Ballot Entry
£5
Per person, to enter the draw.
Competition Ticket (if drawn)
£20 / £5
Adults / children & juniors.
All Proceeds
Support Easdale's harbour, community hall, museum, and local charities.
