Introduction
FRIENDS is a monthly lottery, sponsored by St. Mary's Church in Foxboro and licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On the last evening of each month at 8:00pm, twelve lucky numbers are chosen at random to win prizes from $50.00 to $1000.00. You are welcome to join us on any of those nights at the Rectory.

Drawing
Promptly at 8:00pm the drawing begins with three containers, each holding ten balls numbered from 0 to 9. One ball is drawn from each container to make a three-digit number. If that number has been paid for the month - it's a winner! If it's your number, even if you're not present, you are a winner! The balls are then placed back in their containers and the next winner is chosen.  

Prizes
There are eight $50.00 winners which are picked first, followed by one $100.00 prize, one $200.00 prize, and one $300.00 prize. Finally there is a drawing for the $1000.00 prize. That means 12 prizes are awarded each month!

Dues
Dues are $5.00 each month. Payments can be made monthly, bi-monthly, semi-annually or annually. Many of our members find that prepayment is more convenient for them. You can mail your payment, place it in the Sunday collection basket or you can drop it by the Rectory. Please use the return envelope that comes with your monthly winners list. If you use another envelope be sure to clearly mark the envelope with FRIENDS.  Remember that your payment must be received before 8:00pm the night of the drawing to be eligible to win.  If you have any questions, call Anne Robinson, Secretary to Friends, 508-543-7726.
