It's easy! For each £1 entry, you'll receive a unique 6-digit lottery number.

Every Friday, a winning number is drawn at random. Players must match the digits to win up to £25,000!

The lottery is a number match game. We generate a random 6-digit winning number sequence. If the player’s digits are in same positions as the digits in the winning number sequence, they 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.

Match the digits in the correct position to win the following prizes:

·         3 digit match = 5 entries into the next draw*

·         4 digit match = £25

·         5 digit match = £1,000

·         6 digit match = £25,000

*If you would prefer to receive a £5 cash prize instead of 5 prize entries, you can opt for this by contacting the Unity helpline (0370 050 9240) or email info@unitylottery.co.uk.

Choosing entries into the next draw means York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity will receive an extra £2.50 (50p per entry)!

For every £1 entry, you have a 1 in 63 chance of winning one of our four fantastic prizes.
