How it works
Our lottery is run by our trusted partner Unity. For just £1 per week, you will be given a six-digit lottery number, which will be yours for as long as you would like to keep playing. You can purchase more than one number if you wish.
Winners have to match 3, 4, 5 or all 6 digits of the winning number in the correct place in the sequence. Draws take place each week on a Friday. Each entry into the draw costs £1.
What are my chances?
Unity offers the best odds of any platform of its kind. Because it’s a number match game, the odds are fixed. This means that no matter which cause you’re supporting, or how big their lottery is, every lottery number has an equal chance of winning a prize.
For example, if the winning number sequence was 123456, the lottery number 163057 would be a 3-digit winning match; because 3 digits are positioned in the same place in the sequence.
- 3 digit match = 1 in 69
- 4 digit match = 1 in 823
- 5 digit match = 1 in 18,518
- 6 digit match = 1 in 1,000,000
Results
The winning number will be published on the results page of the Unity website. Alternatively, you can call the Unity winners hotline 0370 055 2291.
