I was completely bowled over on receiving a winning cheque today via the 'Raise a Smile' Lottery - it certainly brought a smile to my face! I have supported the lottery every month since it just about started and had largely forgotten all about it, though I know it brings in much needed income.

Between April 2022 and March 2023, an average of 56p in every £1 went directly to fund care for children, young people and families. 9p was used to fund prizes and 35p covered the cost of running the lottery and the recruitment of new players. Based on the 2022/2023 financial year, the odds of winning the guaranteed weekly 1st prize of £1,000 is 1 in 16,629. The chances of winning any of the other 14 prizes is 1 in 1,187.
