Day at pier for just £2
July 12, 2023
Thousands of people have the chance to enjoy a day out at Clacton Pier
for just £2.
The attraction has teamed up with the National Lottery and VisitBritain
to provide this exciting offer.
The pier took part in the programme last year and it was a huge success,
giving families a bargain day of fun and providing a host of new visitors to
the site.
The National Lottery has put £4million (160,000 vouchers) up again this
summer and anyone can benefit until the pot runs out.
All they have to do is buy a National Lottery ticket, Scratchcard or Instant
Win Game to claim a voucher code and qualify for a £25 discount on attractions,
experiences and activities.
The voucher can then be used to purchase a Big Day Out Band at Clacton
Pier with no extra cost involved, and it can be used anytime in the next 12
months.
Pier director Billy Ball said it is a win, win situation for everyone.
“Last year thousands of people made the most of this offer to get our
Big Day Out Bands for the price of a £2 lottery ticket,” he said.
“We have been asked whether the deal will be running again by so many
people and we can now announce that everything has been tied up.
“There is also the opportunity to upgrade the band to an annual pass for
a further £25, meaning the pass for the entire year will cost a total of just £27.”
Mr Ball added that 70 per cent of those who benefited from the voucher
in 2022 were totally new visitors to Clacton Pier.
“This offer will be of especially great benefit to those families who
have less money left for entertaining the kids in the summer holidays due to
the current financial climate,” he said.
“There is also a chance to win cash with the lotto ticket itself!”
Those wanting take part need to enter their 19 digit lotto code onto the
National Lottery website to redeem a voucher code. This code can then be used
on VisitBritain to save the £25.

Not a scam. I bought my lottery ticket, actually 2. U entre the 1st 4 digits from your ticket and your email address, visit britain then send u a QR code, show that at pier ticket office, u get a free Big day out wristbands band. We went back to ticket office later, paid £25 for each to get the annual pass. 2 annual passes for £50, brilliant. We live in Clacton

Well, I bought my lottery ticket and I still don’t know how to get a “code”.
Seems like either a scam or a non storey.
