The Big Animal Lottery FAQ's
Where can I see The Big Animal Lottery full terms and conditions?
You can view our full terms and conditions here.
I’ve signed up to play the Lottery, but what happens next?
You’ll receive in the post confirmation of your unique lottery numbers, along with confirmation of your first draw date. This may take up to 14 days.
When are the draws held?
The draws are held every Friday, except when a Friday falls on a bank holiday. The draw will then be held on the next working day.
Why is the monthly payment £5 a month per entry?
One entry in the lottery draw each Friday costs £1. Most months consist of four weeks but some have five. Rather than changing your direct debit payment each month we round the monthly direct debit up to £5. This ensures you never miss a draw as there will always be money available for a fifth Friday, and any money left over after the draws will be treated as a donation.
How do I know if I’ve won?
Winners are notified by post, but you can check the draw results here or call our lottery helpline on 01 524 752 903
How do I claim my Lottery prize?
When we send you a letter confirming your win, we will automatically include your winner’s cheque so there is no need to claim your prize!
What happens to unclaimed Lottery prizes?
Any cheques remaining uncashed for over 6 months will be cancelled and the unclaimed lottery prizes will be treated as a donation.
