July marks four years since we launched the Contact Lottery, our exciting game that gives players a chance of winning cash prizes every week, all while supporting Contact’s essential work and services for families.

And what an incredible journey these past four years have been! We’ve given away £79,245 in cash prizes to 7,021 players – with 18 parent carers taking home one of our lucrative jackpots, including recent winners Michelle, Sophie and Samantha.

We now have 3,000 amazing players and nearly 100 prizes are being won every single week.

And for just £1 a week, you could join them!

Thank you to all our players

We’re seeing an unprecedented demand for our support due to the underfunding of public services and the escalating costs of caring for a disabled child. Our lottery has become a crucial source of income for Contact, helping us meet this need and enabling us to reach thousands more families.

We’re determined to grow our community of players to 5,000 by the end of 2025. You can help us achieve this goal by signing up today!

Parent carers giving back (and winning big!)

What makes the Contact Lottery so special? The fact that parent carers have been the top winners — taking home most of the £79,245 cash prizes awarded so far!

When we call a parent to deliver the exciting news that they’ve won, they often tell us they play our lottery to help support other families like theirs. As our first-ever £10,000 winner put it: “Knowing the money I pay each month can help so many families with disabled children is overwhelming. It makes me feel so proud that I can help someone with a disability, especially a child.”

Join the fun and be part of Contact’s history

Playing our lottery is as easy as spending £1 a week!

For each £1 entry, you’ll get a unique 6-digit number. Match three or more numbers, and you could win fabulous cash prizes ranging from £5 all the way up to an amazing £10,000.

Want to boost your chances and support Contact even more? Simply opt to play for £2 or £3 a week!
