What is a charity lottery?

GOSH Patient Tulsi

A charity lottery is a great way to support a charity you care about, while being in with the chance of winning some great prizes.

The Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity Lottery (GOSH Charity Lottery) is a great way to raise funds to support seriously ill children from across the UK cared for at the hospital.

Enter the weekly draw from just £1 per play. Every entry gives you the chance of winning one of 162 guaranteed cash prizes each week, with the top prize of £1,000. Plus you're automatically entered into the annual £10,000 Superdraw! By taking part you’re helping patients at the hospital at the same time as being in with a chance to win a prize.

The lottery draw takes place every Friday, apart from when it falls on a bank holiday. If the date of the draw is a bank holiday, the draw will take place on the closest most convenient day.

There are three simple steps to play:

  1. Visit our lottery page and select the amount of entries you would like and how you would like to pay
  2. Fill in your details for your Direct Debit or debit card payment
  3. Sit back and relax. We'll send you your unique lottery numbers and welcome info

How our lottery supports children that need us most

Your support is life-changing. You’ll be helping to fund state-of-the-art medical technology; pioneering research programmes into treatments, and cures for rare conditions.

You'll be supporting patient and family support services; and new child-focused environments that help children feel safe and calm during their appointments, treatments, and recovery.

As well as your chance to win, the money raised from the GOSH Charity Lottery goes towards changing the lives of seriously ill children.
