Lottery

Play our lottery to support our work and you could win £25,000

We’ve partnered with Unity to launch a lottery to support our work across Derbyshire. Every entry directly supports us, and the maximum prize each week is £25,000. Prize draw every Friday!

We are a small charity with big ideas, protecting and preserving Derbyshire’s wildlife and wild places since 1962. As the leading conservation charity in Derbyshire, our work spans from conservation at its most scientific, right through to a child's first experience in nature. With 50 Nature Reserves across the county and countless conservation and well-being projects, we work hard to help local wildlife with the support of wonderful volunteers and members.

So how does it work?

For every £1 you play each week, you'll receive a unique 6-digit lottery number. Every Friday, a winning number is drawn at random. Match your digits to win up to £25,000! A Random Number Generator is used to pick a winning number sequence and a range of prizes is available for matching 3, 4, 5 or 6 digits.
