Five British pounds sterling. It's what we use for money in the United Kingdom.

A tombola is a stall you might have at a primary school summer fete or something similar. You pay your money, and pick out a raffle ticket, from a thing called a tombola which is a box mounted so it can swing round and shuffle the tickets. You then get the prize which corresponds to the number you pick i.e. you pay a set amount of money and get a prize which may be worth more or less at random.

Now, how about a virtual tombola with a poetic element?
