How to redeem your free chances
Annual subscribers will be sent a link to WinAMillion.com. They must enter their phone number, email address and date of birth, and will then be redirected to register with Winamillion.com. No bank details are required to take part.
Once registered, participants can start playing in the weekly Saturday evening draw.
How to play and win
To win the top prize, entrants must match all five of their chosen numbers in the same order as the winning numbers drawn. If they do not match all five, other prizes are available.
The jackpot prize draws are fully insured by a leading UK insurance provider. A portion of every entry sold goes towards funding this insurance, guaranteeing the £1,000,000 jackpot is paid out regardless of how many people enter.
Draw details and fairness
Draws are held at 9pm UK time on Saturdays, with entries closing at 20:59:59 on the day of the draw. The £1,000,000 draws are carried out by an independent third-party insurance provider to ensure a fair and tamperproof process.
Once a draw closes, Win A Million sends a list of all eligible entries to the independent insurance broker along with a cryptographic hash of the file. The draw is run by a certified Random Number Generator (RNG), certified by Gaming Labs International (GLI) to UK Gambling Commission's standards, using the entry file hash as a seed value. Win A Million staff have no access or control over the certified RNG or the outcome of the draws.
Winners are notified immediately by email. If a winner cannot be contacted or does not claim their prize within 30 days of the prize draw, the Promoter reserves the right not to award the prize. For prizes over £200, winners may be required to provide personal identification. If there is more than one jackpot winner in a draw, the prize is divided equally between them.
