Every year, we provide information, guidance and support to thousands of people via our helpline, and millions of people on our website. For many, this support is life changing. By playing our lottery you will be helping to create a dyslexia friendly society, where dyslexic people of all ages are empowered to flourish.

How do I play?

For just £1 per week, you will be allocated a unique six-digit lottery number which will remain yours for as long as you continue playing. You can purchase up to 20 lottery numbers if you wish. Winners have to match 3, 4, 5 or all 6 digits of the winning number in the correct place in the sequence.


How do I win and what are the prizes?

To win a prize you must match at least three numbers in the right place in the sequence. For example, if the winning number sequence was 123456, the lottery number 183536 would be a 3 digit match because three digits are in the correct place of the winning sequence.

• Match three numbers and win 5 entries into the next draw

• Match four numbers and win £25

• Match five numbers and win £1,000

• Match six numbers and win £25,000

Prizes are issued automatically so there is no need to claim your prize. Prizes are sent via direct credit payment or via cheque depending on the preference you indicate when you join the lottery.

For every pound spent, at least 50p comes directly to the BDA.
