New Charity Lottery | More money for the charities...more chances for you to win!

There is a new charity lottery called PlayMonday, where more of the money goes to charity and you can choose which charities you support. For example, the draw for May 8th has five charities to choose from, so I've had a go and selected Born Free and Shelter, though it is a tough choice as this week's choices are all worthy.

27 times better chance of winning | Every £1 enters you into two jackpot draws | Nearest numbers win, no need to match all six | Draw takes place on a Monday, hence the name! | Bigger prizes for matching 5, 4, 3 numbers | Five times more money goes to charity!

Simply put, let them explain for themselves...

Why are we here? Well, monday may not be the answer to life, the universe or everything but it is the answer to lottery players’ prayers.

Bluntly put, people were told ‘it could be you’ but it rarely was. Cynics called it a tax on the stupid. But what could we do? Where could we take our numbers?

It was time for a new lottery. A lottery that people wanted. A fairer lottery which rewards players and charities alike. A lottery with better odds, fairer prizes and no roll-overs.

Wouldn’t we all rather have a decent chance of winning a life-changing amount than little chance of winning an insane amount?

Most people we asked agreed.

So the concept was conceived of a lottery which would benefit five different UK charities each week - some 70 in all. Raising over £150 million a year for them. It would have 27 times better odds of winning a jackpot, two draws instead of one, a jackpot winner every week, better smaller prizes and five times more of a player’s pound going to charity than on the National Lottery.

A proper lottery, regulated by the Gambling Commission. Shouldn’t be hard. It took three years. But here it is ... at last.

Thank you for your support, your ideas and your patience.

Welcome to Britain’s new lottery. Welcome to monday.

It’s all yours...

Let’s play!
