5)  A draw takes place every Friday until further notice. The first draw was 30th September 2005.

6)  The draw consists of drawing thirty letters at random from the 26 letters of the alphabet (the same letter can be drawn more than once).

7)  Each draw ticket contains the letters A to Z and alongside each letter is a number. For each ticket, a score is calculated, based on adding up the numbers corresponding to the thirty letters drawn.

8)  A daily "Leaderboard" is published on this web site from Monday to Thursday, showing the current top scores. The final "Leaderboard" for the week is published from Friday through to Sunday.

9)  The ticket numbers shown on the final "Leaderboard" will win the prizes shown on the final "Leaderboard".

10)  Only tickets appearing on the final "Leaderboard" win a prize.
11)  The number of places shown on the daily "Leaderboard", indicates the number of prizes on offer that week.

12)  In the event of a tie on the "Leaderboard" the 30 draw letters will be re-used to resolve the tie. These letters will be applied one at a time, in the order that they were drawn, until all ties are resolved. After applying the first letter to a group of two or more tied tickets, the group are sorted in order, based on the score achieved for that letter alone. The tie break is resolved by sorting the group of tied tickets in score order (highest score first). If, after sorting the group of tied tickets, the tie break has not been completely resolved, then the second of the 30 letters is applied, individually, to each group of tickets which are still tied. This process is repeated until all ties are resolved.
