How Does the Health Lottery Work?

The Health Lottery is a low-cost UK lottery with a simple promise: £1 a play, a fixed jackpot, and money raised for health-related causes. Here’s how it works.

Playing

You pick five numbers, and each play costs £1. Matching all five main numbers wins the fixed jackpot of £25,000, while smaller prizes start from matching just two numbers. The main draw game is now branded “The Big Win”, with draws in the evening.

The odds

The overall chance of winning any prize is about 1 in 9.7 — shorter than the National Lottery’s Lotto — while the jackpot odds are 1 in 2,118,760. The £25,000 jackpot is fixed and doesn’t roll over; if there are multiple winners, it’s shared.

The good causes

Around 20% of ticket money goes to health-related good causes across Great Britain. Players must be 16 or over, and winnings are tax-free, paid as lump sums. See the Health Lottery vs National Lottery and the easiest UK lottery to win.
