Entries will close every Friday (with exception when this is a Bank Holiday, when it will take place the next working day). Tickets must be purchased before the draw takes place for guaranteed entry into the weekly draw. If you purchase after this time, you will be entered into the following draw. Or you can set up a reliable and regular income for your chosen charity, by setting up a monthly Direct Debit. It only costs £5 a month and gets you into every draw throughout the year automatically. Our weekly prize fund is 1 x £1000, 1 x £200, 10 x £10, 270 x £5, PLUS a rollover of £500 which goes up to a maximum of £25,000, when it gets to that amount it HAS to be won! If the rollover is high and you are feeling lucky- you can always increase your chances in the draw by purchasing single plays via our website. Give it a whirl! Our lottery players who have a regular £5 subscription (providing they make all the scheduled payments) will accumulate additional credit throughout the year, which will automatically be entered into our Super Draws in June and December, where you will have the chance to win a GUARANTEED £5,000 on top of all the other prizes that week!
