How old do I have to be to enter?

You must be aged 16 or over to enter the lottery.

Can I choose my own lottery numbers?

These are chosen randomly and will be your numbers for the duration of your membership of our lottery. When you enter the lottery, you will be sent your unique numbers.

How much does CHARITY NAME make from my membership?

CHARITY NAME receives a minimum of 50p out of every £1 played. However the more members we have, the greater this amount becomes – we also benefit financially from all three number match wins (as detailed below).

Why is the price £4.34 per month when paying by Direct Debit?

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

How will I know if I'm in the draw?

Within 21 days of registration you will receive a confirmation letter which contains details of your unique lottery number(s) and the date of the first draw your tickets are entered into. You will be entered into the draw when you have monies available and you will continue to be entered into the draw as long as you have monies available against your lottery number.

How will I know if I've won?

Once the draw has taken place, winners are notified by post. There is no need to claim your prize as this is sent straight to your address!

If I win, does this cost the hospice?

No - in actual fact the opposite can be true…which is exactly why we want you to win!

The three match win:

Every time a Wakefield Hospice Unity Lottery member has a three digit match YOU receive five extra chances in the following weeks draw (seriously increasing your odds of winning a greater prize the next week!) WE receive a donation of £2.50 from Unity Lottery. This is at no extra cost to either our members or Wakefield Hospice!

The more players we have, the more three match win donations we’ll receive and is one of the many reasons why we’d be lucky to have you as a member!

If you win £25, £1,000 or even hit the jackpot £25,000 it won’t cost us a penny!
