We provide you with your own personalised lottery leaflets and you promote the lottery to your supporters. Two primary ways to promote your lottery are:

Setting up your lottery
To set up your lottery we will need the following things:
1) Your Lottery License details – If you do not have one already, you need to obtain a local authority license from the licensing department at your local Council (The Gambling Act 2005. Cost £40 first year, £20 thereafter)
2) Your logo
3) 30-40 Words describing your fundraising cause
How the lottery works
Each player chooses 6 numbers between 0 and 9, inclusive.
We match the players chosen numbers against the second digit of temperatures in Fahrenheit in selected destinations around Europe.
The table below shows an example of how the results are arrived at...
| Corfu | Istanbul | Tenerife | Innsbruck | Edinburgh | Stockholm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 83° | 96° | 81° | 77° | 62° | 64° |
| 3 | 6 | 1 | 7 | 2 | 4 |
In the example above, the winning combination based on those temperatures is:
3-6-1-7-2-4
So if a player has chosen those numbers, they would win the maximum prize for the lottery game type they had entered up to £25,000.
- £1.00 per entry per week
- Four chances to win up to £10,000 (Monday to Thursday)
- 35% of the Sunshine Lottery sales goes to your organisation
- £1.00 per entry per week
- Win up to £25,000 (Lottery every Friday)
- 60% of the Lightning Lottery sales goes to your organisation
To date The Weather Lottery has paid out over £5,000,000 in prizes!
