We are here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. Everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. So we provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get what they need and deserve.

The Stroke Association makes every effort to behave in a socially responsible manner. You must be at least 18 years old to play our lottery and raffles, and we have measures in place to ensure we do everything in our power to control underage playing. The Weekly Lottery and raffles are an incentivised means of supporting the Stroke Association. However, before entering into any scheme which involves speculative spending, you are advised to remember the following:

• You should gamble only as a means of entertainment not to make money.
• You should only gamble as much as you can afford to lose.
• Before gambling, you should set yourself clear limits on how much you can afford to spend.

You should not attempt to gamble back money you have lost. If you think you may have a problem with gambling, contact the gambling support network, GamCare confidentially on 0808 802 0133. Alternatively, visit the GamCare website at www.gamcare.org.uk.

If we haven’t answered your question here, please get in touch.

The Weekly Lottery is a draw that takes place every Friday. Each ticket you purchase gives you the chance to win a range of cash prizes. Each entry costs just £1.

All of the proceeds from each week’s lottery will go towards supporting vital services such as our Helpline, grants and support groups.

Register to play on our website by completing your Direct Debit details. Once you’ve registered, we’ll post out your welcome pack containing your unique 6-digit lottery number, your payment confirmation and the date of your first draw.

Starting from April 2024, any payments made will be collected as £5 rather than the previous £4.34 amount. This means we collect an extra 66p per month (per line) to cover additional entries in to our Summer Superdraws. Depending on when you join, you can have up to 8 extra lines in the Superdraw, giving you even more chance to win.

£4.34 will be used to credit your regular weekly lottery lines like before, but 66p will go into a new Summer Superdraw 'wallet'. Depending on how much your Summer Superdraw wallet has, will decide how many extra entries you receive.

In months where there are 5 weeks rather than 4 and your £4.34 portion of your monthly payment might not cover all your weekly lines, we'll use your Summer Superdraw credit to ensure your lines never get left out of the draw.

When taking payments, the Stroke Association use a secure payments system provided by our External Lottery Manager. This ensures your details are taken safely and securely when you enter the lottery online.

Following registration there are a number of administrative processes to complete, like verifying your payment details with your bank, claiming the funds from your bank account and the funds being received.

Every week, you could win the following prizes:

• 1st prize, £1,000,
• 2nd prize, £250
• 3rd prize, 25 lucky winners will get £10
• 4th prize, 100 lucky winners will get 5 prize entries
• Super Draw in December for a guaranteed £8,000.

If the 2nd prize isn’t won, it rolls over each week up to a maximum value of £10,000.

The draw takes place every Friday. We check the winning lottery numbers and winners are notified by post. All of the winning numbers are published on our website, here.

In 2024, after paying out prize money and costs, the Stroke Association received 81p or 81% from every £1 spent in our lottery. We gave away 8% in prize money and spent 11% on the administration of the draw. Supporters had a 1 in 205 chance of winning a prize.

Don’t worry, we have a record of your number/s. If you’d like us to re-send them, call us on 0370 050 1685 or email lottery@stroke.org.uk
