When you sign up to the lottery you can decide to round up your regular payments to the nearest £5, with the rounded portion amount donated directly to us every time you make another payment towards your lottery credit balance.
You can also choose to optionally boost your regular donation and any donations you have made to us within the last 4 years that weren't previously Gift Aided by 25%, if you are eligible for the scheme.
If for example you chose 2 chances per month, your Direct Debit total would be £8.68. If you chose to round up your regular payment with a donation, this would mean paying £10 per month, with £1.32 being donated to us. If you are eligible for and have decided to Gift Aid your donation, then we would receive an additional 24p for every £1.32 received, meaning a total monthly donation of £1.56.
Gift Aid is only eligible for the donation portion of your regular payments, not for the monies that contribute towards your lottery credit balance.
