How the lottery works
Playing the lottery
The WI Lottery is an exciting weekly lottery that raises money for local WIs in the UK. All local WIs supported by the lottery will benefit the UK and its residents.
Play the lottery, support good causes in the UK - it's that simple!
Tickets for the lottery cost just £1 a week. Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win a prize each week, with a top prize of £25,000! There's a better chance of winning the jackpot than the National Lottery or the Health Lottery.
Each ticket has six numbers and each number is between 0 and 9. There will be a draw every Saturday night when a six digit winning combination will be picked. Prizes will be given to players with tickets that match the first or last 2 to 6 numbers from the winning combination. Match all six and you win the jackpot!

Your local WIs
The lottery and its prizes are our way of putting the fun in fundraising. The real winners are the local WIs. From every £1 ticket sold 60p will go to local WIs in the UK. To put this in perspective when you play the National Lottery 25% goes to local WIs – we’ve more than doubled the ticket percentage that goes to local WIs.
Even better, you can choose which local WI gets 40p of the 60p (the remaining 20p will be distributed to other local WIs).
Good luck and have fun!
We hope you'll join us in making the UK even better and have some fun along the way.
