The quickest way for police staff to save at The Health Lottery is with the current offers on this page, which we check daily. Anyone aged 18 or over in Great Britain can use them, subject to each offer’s terms. It’s a form of gambling, so treat any play as paid-for entertainment and never as a way to make money.
What is The Health Lottery?
The Health Lottery runs lottery games on behalf of The Health Lottery Foundation, which raises money for health and welfare projects across Great Britain. The Health Lottery ELM Limited is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission.
According to the brand, more than 3,500 projects have been funded so far. The causes it names include children and young people, and people with mental or physical disabilities.
How Police Staff Can Save at The Health Lottery
Looking for a police discount at The Health Lottery? The offers on this page are the current ways to save.
These are public offers. Officers, PCSOs, specials, police staff and retired colleagues can all use them, and so can anybody else who meets the terms. The reason they’re here is simple: most people never come across them.
The terms vary, so read them before you act. Some offers are for first-time players and others are open to existing players too. Some are tied to one game. The Health Lottery also explains how its promo codes work:
- They take money off online tickets for The Big Win and All or Nothing.
- They don’t work on QuickWin, Instant Win or Health Games.
- Each one has a stated expiry date, after which it stops working.
- Players only get promotion details by email if their marketing preferences are switched on.
One thing to keep in mind. A promotion only saves you money if you were going to play anyway. If an offer tempts you to spend more than you’d planned, it isn’t a saving.
How to Claim
- Decide what you’re happy to spend, and treat that money as gone.
- Read the offers on this page, including who each one is for and which game it covers.
- Follow the link on the offer you want, which takes you to The Health Lottery’s site.
- Sign up or log in. You’ll need a GB address and a GB bank account, and the brand will check your age.
- Set your deposit limit in your account before you buy anything.
- If the offer shows a code, apply it when you buy your tickets, then check the discount has come off before you pay.
- Next time, come back to the offers on this page first, because they change.
What You Can Play
The games differ a lot in pace, and that matters more than most people think.
The Big Win
This is the one most people will recognise, as it’s sold online and through more than 20,000 retailers. You pick five numbers from 1 to 50, or use Quick Pick, and you can buy for the current draw or up to five weeks ahead.
All or Nothing
An online-only game with draws on Tuesday and Friday evenings. You choose 12 numbers from 1 to 24, and you can win the top prize by matching all of them or none of them. There’s a Play Continuously option that runs on Direct Debit, so keep an eye on what’s leaving your account if you use it.
QuickWin
Also online only, with virtual draws every three minutes, every day. There’s no advance play, so you can only enter the next draw. That speed is the thing to watch, because it’s easy to spend more than you meant to in a short time.
Instant Win
These are online scratch-style games, with more than a dozen to pick from. You can see each game’s odds, pay table and rules through its information icon, and there’s a demo mode where you can try a game without paying. Demo wins don’t pay out, and you’ll need to be logged in to use it.
Staying in Control
Whatever you play, set your limits first. The Health Lottery’s Healthy Play tools sit in your account:
- Deposit and play limits, so your budget is fixed before you start.
- A time-out that blocks your login for 24 hours, 48 hours, a week or a month.
- An opt-out from some or all Instant Win games.
- Self-exclusion, through your account, the helpline or a retailer, for at least six months.
The brand also recommends GAMSTOP, which covers all licensed online gambling in Great Britain, and points players to BeGambleAware and Gamblers Anonymous. If playing has stopped being fun, stop, and talk to one of them.
Is It Worth It?
It depends on what you’re buying. If you enjoy a lottery ticket now and then, can afford to lose the money and like the idea of some of it going to health projects, The Health Lottery does what it says. The brand publishes where the money goes: a fifth of each draw ticket and online scratchcard purchase goes to good causes, around a third of the money across its games goes on prizes, and the rest goes on expenses.
Those figures are also the honest case against it. Most of what you spend won’t come back to you, so it’s a poor way to try to make money. And if supporting health causes is your main aim, a direct donation to a charity you choose will usually get more of your money there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does The Health Lottery do a police discount?
The offers on this page are the current ways to save at The Health Lottery. We check them daily, so you don’t have to hunt for them. Anyone using them needs to be 18 or over and in Great Britain, and each offer has its own terms.
Are these offers only for police?
No, anyone who meets the terms can use them, but most people never hear about them. We bring them to the police community. You’ll need to be 18 or over, with a GB address and a GB bank account, to play online.
Can I play if I live in Northern Ireland?
The Health Lottery’s online terms ask for a GB address and a GB bank account, and you must be physically in Great Britain when you buy a play or set up a Direct Debit. That will rule out most readers living in Northern Ireland, so check the brand’s FAQ first.
Which games do Health Lottery promo codes work on?
The Health Lottery says promo codes work on online tickets for The Big Win and All or Nothing. They don’t work on QuickWin, Instant Win or Health Games, and each one has an expiry date. Read the terms shown with the offer before you rely on it.
How much of my ticket goes to good causes?
The Health Lottery says a fifth of each draw ticket and online scratchcard purchase goes to good causes. Across its games, it reports around a third going on prizes and the rest on expenses. You can read the full breakdown on the brand’s about page.
How do I set a spending limit or take a break?
Log in, open My Account and use the Healthy Play options. You can set deposit and play limits, block your login for between 24 hours and a month, opt out of Instant Win games or self-exclude. GAMSTOP covers all licensed online gambling in Great Britain.
Where can I get help if gambling is becoming a problem?
If your play has stopped being fun, stop and talk to someone. The Health Lottery points players to BeGambleAware, GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous and GAMSTOP, all of which offer support or blocking tools outside the company. You can also self-exclude through your account or its helpline.
Play only with money you can afford to lose, and check the offers on this page before you buy. For over 18s only.
