Winners will be announced on the day, and will be published in the Ilkley Gazette. They will also will be published on this website for at least 3 months. All prizes will be paid by Cheque. However you choose to buy a ticket you will be asked for your contact details - and if you win we will contact you through those details - so if you can't be there on the day we can still tell you the Good News and get your prize to you.
