The charities lottery
Nell McAndrew at the launch of the monday lottery
At last - a reason to love Mondays. From April 20th Brits can take part in a fairer weekly lottery. One that means they are 27 times more likely to win a jackpot than with The National Lottery.
Not only that but for every pound spent with monday, 30p goes direct to charity. That's five times more than with The National Lottery.
And for the first time it's you, the players who decide which charity gets their cash.
"We are thrilled to be part of the monday lottery, a revolutionary new fundraising initiative with potential to transform our charity and will enable us to reach significantly more beneficiaries. The monies raised can be used to fund more research into numerous diseases and disabilities. Unrestricted funds are so vitally important to our charity because they give us the chance to provide more talented doctors with the funds they need to develop a better understanding and ultimately develop cures and treatments for many conditions."
Lewis Coghlin, Director of Fundraising
- monday aims to raise £150 million for UK registered charities each year - making it one of the largest charitable fundraisers in the UK.
- The cash will reach the charities within days of each draw and it's unrestricted, leaving the most qualified people - the charities themselves - to decide how best to spend the funds raised.
- There will be two jackpot draws instead of one. So if people don't win in the first, they can still win in the second.
- If no-one matches all six numbers, the player/s with the nearest match to the six winning numbers will get the jackpot.
- Rather than giving crazy amounts of money to one person, monday's lottery will give bigger cash prizes for matching 3, 4 and 5 numbers
- Because there are no roll-overs- there are guaranteed jackpot winners every week
- There's also no chance of losing your ticket and no last minute rushes to the newsagent - as monday is played online at www.playmonday.com. The first draw is May 8th at 8 o'clock and then on every Monday thereafter.
