Big News: More Winners, Better Odds, and Faster Payouts!

We’re pleased to announce some improvements to our prize structure from 6th February 2026 onwards. As a result, we have updated our lottery game rules, which you can view here.

To summarise, we are giving away significantly more prize money, creating more winners, and getting that money into your bank account faster.

A New, More Rewarding Prize Structure

We are shifting to a structure designed to pay out more money to more people.

Here is the new weekly breakdown:

  • Top Prize: £1,000 Cash
  • Second Prize: 3 x £100 Cash
  • Third Prize: 1,000 x 1 Free Entry into the following week’s draw

Introducing: The £10,000 Superdraws

You might be looking at the new Top Prize and wondering about the big £10k. Don’t worry – we haven’t lost it. In fact, you are now significantly more likely to win it.

Under the old “Match 6” system, the mathematical odds of landing the £10,000 jackpot were extremely slim.

With our new structure, we are introducing Superdraws. At least twice a year, we will boost the weekly Top Prize from £1,000 to a massive £10,000! This means that we’ll have at least two guaranteed £10,000 winners each year.

Quicker Payouts

You asked, we delivered! Based on supporter feedback, alongside these changes we will be speeding up payout timescales.

You can see if you’ve won a prize in our brand new supporter portal. We will also send you a text message or email to let you know, so that you definitely don’t miss it!

Simply complete the prize claim form in the portal then, once you’ve done so, we’ll add your prize to our weekly pay-out run.

You can also choose to donate your prize to your chosen charity in the form. Please note, that you must claim any prizes within 28 days of the draw taking place, or they will be forfeited.
