How it works
For every £1 you play each week you’ll be given a unique six-digit Lottery number.
Every £1 ticket is entered into the weekly draw.
Winning numbers are drawn at random every Friday by our Lottery provider, Unity.
To win a prize, three or more of your digits need to be in the same position as the Lottery number drawn. For example, if the winning number sequence was 123456, and you had the number 163057, you would win 5 entries into the next draw as 3 digits are in the same place in the sequence.

Why should you play our lottery?
At least 50p from every £1 you play goes directly towards saving commercial laying hens from slaughter, with the rest going into the prize pot and covering admin costs.
The money you raise by playing the BHWT Lottery helps keep our vans on the road rehoming hens otherwise destined for slaughter because, at 72 weeks old, their commercial use ends. However, we know that they’ve got lots more life to give which is why we rehome them with loving families in back gardens across the UK. They get to live out a free-range retirement with grass beneath their feet, rootling around for bugs and slugs on a daily basis, doing what chickens do best!
By playing our Lottery you’re supporting our work rehoming 60,000 hens every year plus other projects including our education programme, Improving Pet Hen Health scheme and the support we offer vets so they can better help our feathered friends. All of this improves lives, not just for hens here on home soil but across the globe too.
So, why should you play our Lottery? Because not only are you in with great odds of winning a prize, but you’re also helping hens to boot. It’s win-win!
