Rules and prize updates

30 October 2026: draft rules version 1.0 has been replaced by version 1.1. Entries are not open.

What changed

The draft now sets out who may enter, verification, payment, game numbers, winner contact, cancellations, refunds, complaints and self-exclusion. It also explains how the proposed draw works and protects statutory rights.

Glasgow Islay Gaelic Choir Lottery is registered with the local council as a small society lottery. The first eligible draw and administration details remain to be confirmed. The updated draft takes effect when entries open on the published terms.

The prize plan is unchanged
