How it works
The lottery is simple: you play for a £1 stake each week (or multiples of £1 if you wish). You're assigned a unique 5-digit number for each £1 you stake. If that number comes up - you've won! There's a top prize of £1,000 each week along with additional prizes of £250, £100, £75, £50 - and 5 prizes of £25, plus 20 prizes of £10! That's a weekly prize fund of £1,800!
There are various ways to pay for your lottery membership - standing order, debit or credit card, cheque or we have a cash collection service available. Why not join today, it takes just a few minutes.
Around 8,000 people in the borough play our lottery - so you've more chance of winning than playing the national lottery!
