The Weather Lottery

The great thing about The Great Weather Lottery it is you don’t share a jackpot. If you Match 6 numbers you get £10,000, if anyone else has the same numbers as you they also get £10,000.

This is possible because we’ve joined with other Charities, Sporting Clubs, Schools, and Societies, with all the prize money held in trust.

The £200 and £10,000 prizes are insured by TYSER SPECIAL RISKS, London. A simple form allows you to choose 6 numbers between 0-9 for a line. Each line costs £1 a week. You can have as many lines as you like, but only 7 players can have the exact same lucky number sequence. Each line is entered into a daily draw Monday to Friday, therefore you get five chances a week for your £1.

How are the numbers drawn?

The winning numbers are obtained by taking the last digit of the temperature in Fahrenheit, in six world cities, Corfu, Istanbul, Tenerife, Innsbruck, Edinburgh and Stockholm as reported each day Monday to Friday in The Daily Telegraph.

Match 3 numbers and win £2 Match 4 numbers and win £20 Match 5 numbers and win £200 Match 6 numbers and win £10,000

The six world destinations are constant and do not change. Your 1st number is always matched against Corfu; your second number is always matched against Istanbul etc.

Over 25,000 cash winners to date.

It is simple, there’s no hidden catch, and costs as little as 20 pence per day to enter with a convenient monthly standing order mandate - meaning no last minute dashes to the newsagents!

How will i know if I’ve won?

You don't even have to check the numbers yourself as you're notified automatically when you're a winner! If you want to check your numbers then you can always use the www.the weatherlottery.com web site or the Daily Telegraph.
