The United Kingdom Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Association (UKBJJA) is proud to announce a new partnership with Gatherwell to launch a national UKBJJA Lottery Platform — an exciting weekly lottery designed to raise vital funds for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu clubs, athletes, and grassroots community development across the country.
Every ticket purchased makes a real difference — and gives players the chance to win weekly cash prizes of up to £25,000.
Gatherwell is powered by Jumbo Interactive, the provider behind some of the most successful and impactful lotteries and prize draws worldwide. The Jumbo Interactive Group encompasses leading fundraising lottery and raffle brands across the UK, Australia, and Canada, bringing trusted expertise and secure technology to this new initiative.
