A lottery is a fun and engaging way for Ben to raise funds. The lottery is promoted and run to help raise essential funds for Ben, the beneficiary charity. Profits from the lottery go to Ben.

You must be aged 18 or over to enter the lottery.

The Ben's Lucky Lotto prize structure is based on a 6 digit number match, in the correct sequence, as follows:

• 3 digit match = 5 entries into the next draw
• 4 digit match = £25
• 5 digit match = £1,000
• 6 digit match = £25,000

No, 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.

In accordance with our commitment to responsible gambling, we offer a maximum of 20 entries each week per person. Each £1 entry buys you one ‘chance’ of winning in the lottery.

When a player wins a prize, this is covered by the Unity prize pot. This means that charities using Unity for their fundraising lotteries can offer a £25,000 jackpot and smaller prizes to their players.

The odds of winning any prize in Unity is 1 in 63. Everyone in Unity has an equal chance of winning, no matter which charity they support or how many players that charity has. This is one of the main benefits for Ben in joining a scheme like Unity.

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 for this amount are collected once a month.

Sometimes there will be five weeks in a month and the additional 34p is to build up credit to cover the fifth week on the five-week months.

For every £1 played, at least 50p goes straight to Ben as profit. The other 50p is split between the prize pot (18%) and administration costs (32%).

Yes, every entry has an equal chance of winning, and the winning numbers are drawn at random.

Once the draw has taken place, winners are notified by post or email, and the winning number is published on our winners page.

If you match 4 digits or more, you will be sent your winnings automatically, either directly into your bank (if playing by Direct Debit), or via a cheque sent in the post.

If you match 3 digits you will be sent an email to confirm your win and your temporary 5 prize entry lottery numbers for the following week's draw.

Unfortunately, we cannot claim Gift Aid on funds raised through the lottery.
