CAN I GIFT AID MY LOTTERY DONATION?
Unfortunately we can’t Gift Aid lottery payments as by law your entry fee into a lottery draw is classed as a purchase rather than a charitable gift. As there will hopefully be something you receive in return i.e. a lottery win, it is not considered eligible for Gift Aid. However, rest assured that your lottery entry will still go towards supporting your hospital charity.
HOW ARE PRIZES SELECTED?
The draw takes place every Saturday and results are published every Saturday at 17:45 GMT on our website here.
The winning number for each weekly prize draw shall be drawn using a random number generator to determine the winner(s). The generator has been tested and approved by an independent, Gambling Commission-approved, third-party test house.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF I’VE WON?
We will notify you by phone or email within 14 days of the draw date. A list of winners will be published every week on our website. The additional weekly draws (in months with only four Fridays) will be published on Wednesdays at 17:45 GMT on the website.
