A fairer draw.
Life-changing wins for hundreds more.
Most lotteries pile almost everything onto one enormous jackpot for a single winner. We do the opposite: we cap the top prize at a sensible, life-changing amount and spread the rest, so far more people win amounts that genuinely matter.
The prize fund grows with every ticket — and so does the number of winners.
Here's what happens
Enter the monthly draw
Buy entries online in bundles — every entry is one equally-weighted chance. Buy more entries and you simply hold more equal chances. You never pay more for better odds; more entries just means more chances. There is also a postal entry route with the same chance of winning as any paid entry.
Every pound is accounted for
Before you enter, we show you exactly where every pound goes — 60p to the prize pool, 25p to the month's charity, 15p to platform and costs.
The draw
On the draw date, winners are chosen at random using a certified, independently-overseen process. The very first entry drawn wins the top prize. Then we keep drawing, awarding cash prizes down through the tiers until the prize pool is shared out.
The results are published in full
After every draw we publish the complete breakdown: entries by category, winners at each tier, and how much went to charity. Nothing hidden. You can see for yourself that free entries and paid entries win alike.
For every £1 that comes in
Paid out to winners every draw.
A share to that month's cause, every draw.
Running the platform, payment fees and VAT.
So on a draw that raises, say, £100,000: £25,000 goes to charity, and £60,000 is shared out as prizes — a life-changing top prize plus hundreds of other cash winners. As the pot grows, the number of winners grows with it.
The rules, in plain English
Entering for free
To enter any draw for free, send a postcard or letter with your full name, address, postcode, email and the name of the draw to our free entry address (published in the Draw Rules). Each valid postal entry has exactly the same chance of winning as any paid entry — and if a free entry wins, we'll show it in the published results.

Frequently asked
No. Snaffle is a prize draw, not a lottery. Because there's a genuine free entry route with equal chances of winning, it sits outside gambling regulation under the Gambling Act 2005. (Subject to legal confirmation.)
