The InFocus Lottery is a brilliant way to support our work empowering young people with vision impairment and complex needs. If you’ve joined the InFocus Lottery, thank you. Here are some FAQs to help you play and manage your tickets – fingers crossed you win!
I’ve signed up to the InFocus Lottery. What happens now?
If you have signed up online, you will receive a welcome email confirming your entry into the lottery. From this point – or, if you have signed up using a PDF sign-up form – you will receive a confirmation letter within 21 days containing details of your lottery number(s) and our intention to claim funds if you have signed up by Direct Debit.
Once we have received your payment, you will be entered into each available weekly lottery draw, as long as you have credit available against your lottery number.
Why is there a delay between registration and entry into the draw?
Following registration, several administrative processes must be completed. These include verifying your payment details with your bank, claiming the funds from your account, and receiving the funds.
Where do I find the winning numbers?
The winning numbers are available every Friday afternoon at Unity Lottery.
How do I claim my winnings?
There’s no need to claim any prizes if you win. Unity will send any winning cheques directly to your registered address.
If you match three digits in the correct sequence, your prize of five additional entries will be automatically entered into the next lottery draw.
What is a My Lottery Account?
Lottery players can create a My Lottery Account to access a range of information and features. Accounts are personal to each player, and every player can have one.
Do I have to create a My Lottery Account?
No, creating a My Lottery Account is optional.
A My Lottery Account is an optional feature that allows you to manage your lottery membership online. If you would prefer not to manage your membership online, you can still email Unity Lottery at any time for an update on your account.
How do I create a My Lottery Account?
To create your My Lottery Account, visit our online registration page and follow the instructions.
You will need to enter your surname, the postcode you used when signing up to the lottery, and your lottery number. You will then be asked to request a one-time access code by clicking the button. This will send the access code to your email address, along with further instructions to complete your account setup.
Once you have created your account, we recommend saving the page to your browser favourites so you can easily access it whenever needed.
How do I self-exclude from entering the lottery?
If you feel you may be susceptible to gambling-related problems and would like to be excluded from the lottery, please read Unity’s self exclusion policy and call their helpline on 0370 050 9240.
