Cruse’s Weekly Lottery is run by Unity, an external lottery manager.
For every £1 you play each week, you’ll receive a unique 6-digit lottery number.
The lottery is a number match game. Unity generate a random 6-digit winning number sequence. This will be unique to you for as long as you play. And you can have more than one chance and number if you wish. If your digits are in same positions as the digits in the winning number sequence, you win 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.
You’ll receive your lottery numbers in the post or by email, and Unity will let you know when you will start playing.
Every Friday, a winning number is drawn at random. Match your digits to win up to £25,000!
If you win a cash prize a cheque will be sent to you automatically, no need to claim.
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.
