What could be better than winning a lottery? Winning a lottery that goes towards a good cause! The Health Lottery gives you the chance to win up to £250,000 from just £1 – while also helping to combat health inequality in the UK. Here’s our guide to the Health Lottery, results, and winners!
What is the Health Lottery?
The Health Lottery offers incredible prizes and support for great causes. It operates on behalf of a group of 12 local society lotteries across the UK.
While all residents of the UK can play, the Health Lottery is not a national health lottery or affiliated with the National Lottery. Rather, it’s a group of 12 Community Interest Companies across Great Britain. Each month, the Health Lottery is run for a different region, which receives the benefits from all the Health Lottery draws that month. This makes sure everyone gets a fair share of the money raised.
Where can I find the Health Lottery results?

Why play the Health Lottery?
If the chance to win £250,000 for just £1 per ticket isn’t enough of a reason to play, the great cause behind the lottery certainly is. The Health Lottery operates to help fight health inequality in the UK. The Health Lottery states that 20p from every £1 goes directly to supporting local health-related causes.
Health inequality is a significant issue in Britain today. One statistic shows that there is a staggering 9-year difference in life expectancy between men who live in poorer areas and men living in wealthy areas. The funds raised by the Health Lottery go towards supporting local projects in Great Britain, helping and empowering the most vulnerable in our communities. Over £113 million has been raised for their cause so far. Projects that receive funding from the Health Lottery include community health-living initiatives, support for the elderly to keep fit and prevent vascular dementia, and respite programmes for carers who are in need of a well-deserved break.
On top of the low cost and great cause, the Health Lottery odds are among the best in UK lotteries, at 1 in 2,000,000 of winning the jackpot.
