Frequently Asked Questions

You can sign up for the lottery and pay by Direct Debit or Standing Order.  In order to be entered into the lottery you need to be in credit each week.  If you choose to pay monthly by Direct Debit or Standing Order then the amount will be £4.34.  This equates to £52 a year (£4.34 x 12 = £52.08).  Paying by Direct Debit means you will always be in credit.
You can also pay quarterly (£13 per number), six monthly (£26 per number) or annually (£52 per number) by Direct Debit or Standing Order.  If you wish to pay by cheque or debit card the minimum payment is £13 which will keep you in play for 13 weeks.  We will write to you with a reminder of when your renewal payment is due.
