Akash tells us why he plays
Life has been tough lately, and like many civil servants I’m juggling financial pressures while supporting my family. Playing the lottery isn’t just about the chance to win – it gives me hope. I also know it helps other civil servants who are struggling too, and that makes me proud to take part. It feels like being part of a community that looks out for each other when it matters most.

53% of support provided helps civil servants facing financial hardship, including the cost of living, debt and unexpected bills.

Every chance you take costs just £1 and the amount debited will depend on the number of lines you’ve selected and the number of Fridays within that month.
You can choose either the 1st or 15th of the month. Your Direct Debit will be collected on your chosen date or the next working day and a schedule will be sent to you in advance.
Please note we need 10 working days for the Direct Debit to be set up. If your chosen payment day falls within that time, your first payment will be taken on the same day of the following month.
Following the draw, you’ll be notified by email where possible, with funds subsequently deposited directly into your bank account. In the event of an undeliverable email you’ll be notified by post.
