Play our marine conservation lottery

Playing our lottery is a fun way to donate regularly. You can take part for as little as £1 per week, with a chance to win up to £25,000!

    How it works

    For every £1 you play each week, you’ll receive a unique six-digit lottery number.

    Each Friday a 6 digit winning number is generated using a Gambling Commission approved number generator.

    If your digits are in the same positions as the digits in the winning number sequence, you 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 all six digits to win up to £25,000!

    What you could win

    Win up to £25,000 every week plus other great prizes!

    • 5 digit match = £1,000
