Lucky Squares

August grid

10 × 10 — 100 squares at £1 each

Sold out, drawn and paid. Thank you!

Pick a square for £1. When all 100 are sold we draw three winners, who share half of what the grid raised. The other half goes to the PTA.

100 of 100 squares taken

Pot so far £100

Current prizes

  • First prize £30
  • Second prize £15
  • Third prize £5

50% of what comes in, shared between the three places. The prizes are not fixed sums — they climb as the grid fills.

Drawn within 7 days of the last square being sold, or on 2026-09-22, whichever comes first.

Drawn. £50 went to the winners, and £47.38 to PTA funds.

  1. First — £30 square 76, D.F.
  2. Second — £15 square 95, N.P.
  3. Third — £5 square 58, B.C.

✅ This draw checks out

Before selling opened we shuffled all 100 numbers into a random order and published a fingerprint of it. Here is that order, and the random text it was sealed with. Anyone can put the two together and confirm they produce the fingerprint that was published first — which proves the order was fixed before anybody had bought anything.

The winning squares are the first numbers in the order that somebody bought, taken from the top. Here they were:

  1. First — square 76 position 1 in the sealed order
  2. Second — square 95 position 2 in the sealed order
  3. Third — square 58 position 3 in the sealed order

Everything skipped on the way down was a number nobody had taken.
