Find out more about our lottery
As well as the chance to win big, fifty pence of every £1 played in the lottery allows us to continue our vital work helping people living with epilepsy.
Your entry can help overcome the loneliness epilepsy can bring, understand the challenges of life with epilepsy and help people take back control and enjoy the best quality of life.
Every single person deserves a comfortable life with epilepsy, we are there to help people on that journey, whether they are newly diagnosed or have been dealing with the condition for a number of years.
The money raised will go to running our website full of information and news and our services such as the helpline and Befriending service.
It’s easy to play!
It’s really simple to get started, all you need to do is enter your details, choose the way you want to pay and then select your number of entries. It costs just £1 per entry. Submit your details and we will send you your lucky numbers.
For every £1 you play each week, you’ll receive a unique 6-digit lottery number. Winning numbers are revealed each week, match your numbers to win up to £25,000.
Every Friday a winning number is drawn at random. Winners have to match 3, 4, 5 or all 6 digits of the winning number in the correct place in the sequence. The lucky winners are sent their prizes automatically each Friday. So if you win a prize you’ll automatically receive it!
How does it work?
The lottery is a number match game using a random number generator.
If your digits are in same positions as the digits in the six-digit winning number sequence, you win a prize!
3-digit match = 5 entries into the next draw

5-digit match = £1,000
6-digit match = £25,000
