2. Who can enter
2.1 You must be aged 16 or over. By buying a number you confirm that you are.
2.2 We may ask for proof of age at any point. If we find that a number was bought by someone under 16, that entry is void, the ticket price will be refunded, and any prize will be withheld and redrawn.
2.3 Members of the Carnival committee and their households may enter the competition.
3. Buying a number
3.1 Each entry is one numbered ball. Numbers run from 001 to 360. The Hatherleigh Carnival Committee reserves the right to add additional numbered balls for sale in the range from 361 to 1000 via the website at any point without prior notice.
3.2 Every ticket in this lottery costs £2.50. All tickets cost the same.
3.3 Each number is sold once only. As soon as a number is bought it is withdrawn from sale and cannot be bought by anyone else.
3.4 You may buy as many numbers as are still available.
3.5 Payment is taken in full at the time of purchase, by card. Your entry is not confirmed, and your number is not reserved, until payment has been completed.
3.6 Adding a number to your basket does not reserve it. Numbers are allocated on payment, so if two people are buying at once the number goes to whoever pays first.
4. Your ticket
4.1 Entries are digital. Nothing is posted to you.
4.2 On payment you will receive a confirmation email listing the number or numbers you have bought. **That email is your ticket — please keep it.**
4.3 It is your responsibility to give a correct email address and contact details. We cannot be held responsible for confirmations or prize notifications that do not arrive because the details given were wrong. If your confirmation has not arrived within an hour, check your junk folder and then contact us at info@hatherleighcarnival.co.uk
5. The draw
5.1 The draw takes place on Saturday 19th September 2026, at approximately 3pm, starting at the top of Market Street (Hatherleigh) and finishing at the bottom of Bridge Street (Hatherleigh).
5.2 All balls are released together from the top of the course. The winning numbers are the first balls to cross the finish line, as determined by the judges appointed by the Carnival.
5.3 The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
5.4 If two or more balls cannot be separated at the line, the winner will be decided by either an immediate re-run between the tied balls or a random draw between the tied numbers, made in public straight afterwards.
5.5 Marshals may clear obstructions from the course, but will not assist any individual ball. A ball that leaves the course will be returned to the point at which it left, or declared out of the race, at the judges’ discretion.
5.6 You do not need to be present to win.
5.7 Unsold numbers may or may not be entered into the draw at the Hatherleigh Carnival Committee’s discretion and cannot win.

7.1 Entries are non-refundable and non-transferable once bought, except as set out below.
