Yes, you can have up to 20 entries per each weekly draw.

Each £1 entry buys you one “chance” of winning in our lottery.

Every entry into the draw is automatically allocated a unique lottery number. The odds of winning are fair and equal for every number. Once a number is allocated to a player it cannot be allocated again to another player.

If you would like to change your number please call the Claire House Lottery helpline on 0370 300 1200. Not all numbers will be available and you cannot choose a number already allocated.

You can either pay by Direct Debit online for recurring subscription payments or by cheque via the post for one-off payments.

To join via Direct Debit please click here. Recurring Direct Debit payments can be paid monthly or every 13, 26 or 52 weeks for as many entries per week as you’d like. We’ll continue taking payments on the schedule you sign up for and entering you into the weekly draws until you cancel your subscription.

To download a postal application form and pay via cheque please click here. One-off cheque payments can be made for 13, 26 or 52 weeks for as many entries per week as you’d like. When you’re nearing the end of your pre-paid subscription we’ll notify you that it’s running out.

The monthly cost breakdown of £4.34 for playing the lottery is based on paying £1 per week over a 52 week year.

Direct Debits are only collected once a month, and sometimes there will be five weeks in a month and so the additional 34p required is to build up enough credit to cover the fifth week on these five-week months.

Unfortunately, as with any charity fundraising lottery, entries are not eligible for Gift Aid. We can, however, claim Gift Aid on donations.

To make a one-off cash donation for Claire House please click here.

All winning members will be forwarded their prizes automatically by post each week directly following the draw.

When you enter our lottery we ask for your address so that we can send you your prize if you win. Prizes are sent out automatically after every draw, so there is no need to make a claim.
