THE PRIZE DRAW
The prize draw will be carried out on the last Monday of every month (or, if that day is not a working day, on the next working day) (or such other time as may be determined by the Trust ).
3 entrants will be automatically selected at random each month by the Trust’s housing management system and subject to meeting the eligibility criteria set out at paragraphs 5, 7 and 8, will each win a prize of £1,000.
A visit to the property of any selected entrant will be undertaken by a representative (or representatives) of the Trust to provide final validation of eligibility. The visit will include a full home property inspection.
The Trust will use all reasonable endeavours to notify the selected entrants by telephone and letter on the day of the prize draw or the following working day (if a bank holiday).
If the selected entrants cannot be contacted or do not claim the prize within 7 days of notification, the Trust reserves the right to withdraw the prize and divide the prize money between any other eligible selected entrants.
The Trust will not be responsible for any inability of the selected entrant to take up the specified prize.
In the event that a selected entrant is not eligible for their share of the prize money, it will be divided equally between any remaining selected entrant(s) who is/are eligible.
In the event that none of the 3 selected entrants are eligible for the prize money it will roll over to the following month as per the Customer Reward Policy.

The prize is not transferrable, but may be converted into a rent credit with the agreement of the Trust.
The Trust will require a selected entrant to provide written confirmation as to the preferred method of payment for the prize money.
Any selected entrant who it is subsequently discovered was ineligible for the prize draw and who should not have participated in the draw will not be entitled to claim the prize (and will be liable to return any prize already received).
