Veterans’ charity Royal Star & Garter is launching its new lottery, with a £20,000 top prize.

The Star Lottery will be held weekly, with the first draw taking place on Friday 3 December.

As well as the chance of winning the top £20,000 prize every Friday, there is a second prize of £1,000, and guaranteed runners-up prizes of ten John Lewis vouchers worth £10 each week.

Royal Star & Garter provides loving, compassionate care to veterans and their partners living with disability or dementia. Every lottery draw purchased will help support veterans cared for at the charity’s Homes in Solihull, Surbiton and High Wycombe.

Each Star Lottery entry is £1, with entrants able to purchase a maximum of five each week. Entrants choose six numbers between 1-49, or can opt to have six numbers randomly allocated to them.

Players will win the £20,000 jackpot if they match all six numbers. Five matched numbers will win the £1,000 prize, and each week ten lucky winners will be randomly selected from all eligible entries to win £10 in John Lewis vouchers.

Caley Eldred, Director of Supporter Engagement at Royal Star & Garter, said: “We’re really excited to be launching our Star Lottery, and offering the chance to win prizes including a £20,000 jackpot. Every ticket purchased will help us continue providing exceptional, award-winning care to our residents.”

All players must be 18 or over and live in Great Britain. For more information and to play the Star Lottery, go to: https://starandgarter.weeklylottery.org.uk/
