How do I enter?

For each £1 ticket you purchase for a Wednesday or Saturday Health Lottery Big Win draw, your numbers will also automatically be entered into the free second chance £100,000 Superdraw on that day.  You do not need to take any further action to enter, no matter how you purchased your ticket.

You may purchase your tickets online on this website, through a lottery direct debit subscription, or from any of the more than 20,000 participating retailers

Following the 7.45pm Big Win £1 lottery draw on a Wednesday and Saturday, the Health Lottery ball machine ( Random Number Generator , to be completely accurate) will be used to select a second set of five winning numbers between 1 and 50.

What are my odds of winning?

Your odds of winning a £100,000 Superdraw are the same as your odds of winning a regular Big Win jackpot.  These stand at 1 in 2.1 million, which stack up rather well against other lotteries you can play in Britain. We set out some of the odds for comparison here. And you can meet some of our lucky £100,000 winners, like Lucille from Wolverhampton and the syndicate of Yorkshire NHS friends here.

Please note that if more than one player match all 5 numbers in a £100,000 Superdraw, then the jackpot will be shared between those players.

Where can I find the free £100,000 draw results?

The winning numbers of every free £100,000 Draw are published with the latest Big Win results (on this website).  They are also published in The Daily Express, The Daily Star, and The Daily Mirror.

If you have purchased your Health Lottery ticket from a retailer, you will also be able to scan it instore to see if you have won a free £100,000 Superdraw. This will let you know if you've won any prize, not just the big one!

If you play The Big Win online, whether pay to play or by direct debit, we will automatically notify you of anything you win and pay those winnings directly into your online wallet up to £500. 

We are required by law to make sure you really are a winner (and are legally entitled to play) for bigger jackpots, but if and when you do  land the £100,000 as an online player we'll be in touch to take you through the process (and congratulate you!).
