PICK AND WIN SWEEPSTAKE

The Red Nose Day sweepstake is a quick and easy way to raise money. For a suggested 2 per guess, simply get everyone to write their name underneath the new hairstyle they think our Fun Raiser, Jessie J, will grow back after shes shaved her hair off for Red Nose Day. The winner keeps half the cash and the rest goes to Comic Relief to help change lives. Go to rednoseday.com/winner after 3pm on Friday 15th March (once all Jessies hairstyles have been chosen) to see which one she opted for and who the winner is. 2 could pay for a check up for a child living on the streets in Uganda to ensure they get the medical help they might need.

Pay it in: The money you raise for Red Nose Day can be paid in
online at rednoseday.com/payin or sent in by cheque, made payable to Red Nose Day 2013 (Sweepstake), to Red Nose Day 2013, Ernst & Young, PO Box 51543, London SE1 2UG. To get more sweepstakes, go to rednoseday.com/posterpack
