Yes, you can have up to 20 entries per each weekly draw.

Each £1 entry buys you one “chance” of winning in our lottery.

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.

You can either pay by Direct Debit, Debit Card, or 'Pay by Bank' online, or send a cheque to us in the post.

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 a month, and sometimes there will be five weeks in a month and so the additional 34p required is to build up enough credit to cover the fifth week on these five-week months.

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

If you would like to make a donation to Saint Catherine's Hospice, please click here to make a one-time donation, or click here if you'd like to make a regular donation.

All winning members will be sent their prizes automatically by post each week directly following the draw.

You can also click here to check the results page on our website.

There's no need to claim your prize if you win, it will be sent to you automatically. Direct Debit players will receive their prizes directly into the bank account, and Debit Card, 'Pay by Bank', and eVoucher players will be sent a cheque in the post.

If you're a £25,000 winner, we'll always send a cheque to you in the post, regardless of how you pay for your entries.
