How our weekly lottery works

The Action Syria Weekly Lottery is run by Unity Lottery, an external lottery manager – each week, you have the chance of winning up to £25,000!

For every £1 you play each week, you will be allocated a unique six-digit lottery number. Every Friday, a winning number is drawn at random – if more than 3 digits from your personal number match the draw, you’re guaranteed a prize:

  • 3 digit match = 5 entries into the next draw 
  • 4 digit match = £25 
  • 5 digit match = £1,000 
  • 6 digit match = £25,000

Because this is a number match game, the odds are fixed and every number has the same chance of winning a prize. It’s a simple way to support our work, and every entry makes a difference.

Players must be 18+

How your support helps

By playing our weekly lottery, you’ll be helping us support Syrian communities to build their lives with health, opportunity and hope.

Even though the conflict in Syria has ended, millions of Syrians still face immense difficulties. A broken economy, lack of basic services and infrastructure in ruins are just some of the daily challenges.  

The money raised through the Action Syria lottery enables us to support Syrian communities with the medical care and education they need, every day and when emergencies strike.
