Unity Lottery

By playing Unity Lottery you have a chance of winning £25,000 every week, and you are helping us and the Home-Start network give thousands of families the lifeline they need.

For just £1 per week, you will be allocated with a six-digit lottery number. Every Friday, the winning numbers are selected at random. To find out how it works, read below:


Win £25,000 and many other prizes every week

Becoming a parent is a joyful but sometimes overwhelming time and it becomes even harder when you are facing additional challenges such as mental health difficulties, financial pressures, loneliness, language and cultural barriers, or a lack of support networks. 

After the death of her older brother whilst her Mum was pregnant with her, Chloe’s family life was turned upside down. Her parents spent the first few years of her life in a fog, trying to handle the stress and pressure of a newborn baby whilst dealing with the loss of their son.

With your help, we can reach out to families like Chloe’s and give them the support they need because childhood can’t wait.


How it works

For just £1 per week, you will be allocated with a six-digit lottery number, which will remain yours for as long as you wish to keep playing. You can purchase more than one entry if you wish. Every Friday, the lucky winners are sent their prizes automatically, so if you win there's no need for you to claim. You must be 16 or over to enter. Winners have to match three, four, five or all six digits of the winning number in the correct place in the sequence.

A full set of rules are available at the Unity Lottery website.

  • Six digits in the correct place win £25,000
  • Five digits in the correct place win £1,000
  • Four digits in the correct place win £25
  • Three digits in the correct place win 5 entries to next draw
  • 50p from every £1 comes directly to Home-Start
Please note:

The likelihood of an individual winning a prize is 1 in 63.
This information, along with a detailed breakdown of the odds can be found, here.
