Play today, transform tomorrow

Start playing our Weekly Lottery today and the money raised will go towards the vital work that help people with hearing loss – including support services, campaigning for equality and biomedical research.

We invest in developing treatments to protect and restore hearing and to silence tinnitus. We also work hard to find cures for those who want them.

This means for that for over 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus, there’s a greater chance for a better tomorrow.

How it works

Within 14 days of processing your entry, we’ll post you your unique lottery number/s and the date of the first draw to which you’ll be entered. You’ll also receive your unique lottery number/s by email.

How we spend the money raised

In 2024, £219,738 was raised from ticket sales in our Weekly Lottery and Superdraws, with 19.91% being spent on prizes, 1.54% spent on expenses, and 78.55% used to support the more than 18 million people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus across the UK. This translated to a fantastic £172,601.76. (Figures based on the Lottery Submissions made by RNID to the Gambling Commission during the 2024 calendar year).

The Weekly Lottery is a great way to grow our support and raise vital income that will change public attitudes and help people hear better now, fund groundbreaking biomedical research that will stop hearing loss and silence tinnitus, and provide practical support and information over the phone, online and in local communities.

Self-exclusion is a formal process whereby we cease to allow you to participate in our online and direct mail lotteries. To self-exclude, please complete our online self-exclusion form.
