The Hattrick Lottery

The Hattrick Lottery (otherwise known as "THL") is a lottery federation which holds weekly draws giving away a variety of prizes including Supporter, Flags and other Hattrick Shop items. It is unique in Hattrick in two ways: it gives away a variety of prizes rather than just flags, and once joined a member is automatically entered into all draws with no extra effort required. THL was created on 28th August 2011 by Broughy1322, is the second federation created by him after The GMC and now boasts over 600 members.

Prizes

The Hattrick Lottery runs plenty of draws each week to give its members a great chance of winning many prizes.

Supporter Tuesdays

Every Tuesday extra Supporter subscription is given away to lucky winners. These are handed out in one week bundles and there are always multiple weeks to be won at each draw, meaning multiple winners every week.

Flag Fridays

Every Friday a variety of flags are given away to those who win the draws. Most of the time there will be multiple flags to be won each week and they usually include some of the rarest ones available. See the "Flag Collection" section below for more info on the flags given out.

Super Special Draws

There are also special lottery draws that take place at the end of each season in weeks 15 and 16, when the usual weekly draws aren't on. In these lotteries a large variety of extra, more valuable, prizes can be won. These change every season but there is usually one or two items from the Hattrick Shop such as Hoodies, T-shirts, Footballs, etc and a large package of supporter or credits. Winners of these draws are usually the happiest people on Hattrick during the off-season!

Other Attractions

Whilst it's mostly about the prizes, there are a few novel extra features to the federation to keep interest going.

Flag Collection

The Hattrick Lottery has its very own flag collection, the details of which can be seen below.

The 80 Rarest Flags (<1000 users)

The 48 Most Common Flags (>1000 users)

The first set of flags contain the 80 rarest countries, all with less than 1000 users. Flags that are highlighted have been given away at least once by the federation.
The second set of flags contain the 48 most common countries, all with more than 1000 users. All of these flags are highlighted as they are considered too common to be given away as prizes by the fed.
A long term goal of The Hattrick Lottery is to complete its flag collection by giving away at least one flag from every country.

Weekly Poll

Every week, usually on a Sunday night, a new poll question is posted in the forum for everyone in the fed to vote and discuss on. It's entirely optional and most of the time just provides a bit of fun between lottery draws, but it can serve a purpose in terms of choosing the most popular prizes to give away.

Donations

The federation also has a very good donations system and has many great friends who have donated various items in the past. Every donation made to the lottery is recorded and members are encouraged to support those who donate regularly.
