How to enter the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home charity lottery.
Enter the charity lottery quickly using just your mobile phone number. Once entered, we’ll send a text message from 72700 to you. To stop playing, simply follow the link in the text message.
How can we give away cash prizes?
Prizes are paid by our lottery provider, so there is no risk of us being out of pocket. 51% of each ticket comes to Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home to support our work!
What can I win?
Each ticket bought consists of a random 6-digit number for the main draw and one entry into the guaranteed win bonus draw. If you match 6 digits in the same position, in the main draw, you’ll win £10,000. If you get a 2, 3, 4 or 5 number match in the main draw, you’ll receive 5 more entries into the guaranteed win bonus draw.
The guaranteed win bonus draw does not work on number matches. Instead, all of the entries are put in the hat and drawn at random. Each week, 1 x £500 prize and 5 x £100 prizes are given away to winners.
If you win, our lottery provider will send a text to let you know – no need to check your numbers!
Can I sign up if I don’t want to enter by mobile or standing order?
Unfortunately not at the moment. Our lottery provider Give Circle operate under a remote lottery license, which means you can only sign up to play our lottery via the methods noted above. There are some developments in the works for late 2024 which will offer alternative payment methods. In the meantime, please feel free to check out other ways you can support the Home
here. If you would like to hear when these options are made available, please
register your interest or get in touch via fundraising@edch.org.uk
When are the winners announced?
The lottery draw is taken each Saturday. The results are announced here on a Monday and all the winners will be contacted by text on the following Thursday.
