Q: Can I choose my own Lottery number?

No. Every entry into the draw is automatically allocated a unique lottery number. The odds of winning are fair and equal for every number. Once a number is allocated to a player it cannot be allocated again to another player.

Q: Why is the minimum Direct Debit amount £4.34?

The monthly cost breakdown of £4.34 for playing the Lottery is based on paying £1 per week over a 52 week year. Direct Debits are only collected once monthly. Sometimes there will be five weeks in a month and the additional £0.34p per entry is to build up credit to cover the fifth week on these five-week months.

Q: Are my entries eligible for Gift Aid?

Unfortunately, as with any charity fundraising Lottery, entries are not eligible for Gift Aid. We can, however, claim Gift Aid on donations.
