Winning is easy too...
The draw usually takes place every Friday and winners are chosen at random for the guaranteed prizes of 1st prize £1,000, and 50 x £10 prizes. Plus a rollover of £250 that if not won each week rolls over to a maximum of £10,000
The lottery system that we use (which is fully licensed by the Gambling Commission) uses a Random Number Generator (known as an RGN) to select the winning numbers from all of the unique numbers of players who are entering in the draw. It randomly selects winners for the £1000 prize and then the 50 x £10 prizes. The system then decides at random whether the £250 rollover will be won that week- there is a 5% chance that it will be won. It will do this by selecting a number at random from 1 to 100. If the number is between 1 and 5 it will be won, if it is between 6 and 100 it will not be won. If it is to be won, it will draw a unique random number from all those players entering into the draw to select a rollover winner. Every week it is not won it goes up by £250, up to a maximum of £10,000, where the system will automatically set the chance of winning to 100%.
We regularly review and increase the prize fund so keep looking on our website for the latest prize fund details
Don’t worry about remembering to check your numbers, if you win a prize there is no need to claim, we automatically post you out a cheque shortly after the draw takes place.

If you can’t wait to find out then you can check your numbers here each week, just have your 6 digit lottery number handy.
Or we display all winning numbers at the locations of the charity you are supporting- reception desks and shops. In the last financial year (April 2019-March 2020) the average plays in each weekly draw was 12,409, and we gave away 576 prizes totalling £46,500!
