Unity Lottery FAQ

How does it work?

For every £1 you play each week, you'll receive a unique 6-digit lottery number.

Every Friday, a winning number is drawn at random. Match your digits to win up to £25,000!

The lottery is a number match game. We generate a random 6-digit winning number sequence. If your digits are in 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.
