We increased the top prize to 拢75,000 from 拢50,000 in June 2024, and since then there have been eight winners of the rollover jackpot.

The most recent 拢75,000 winner was Sally Huggins, who鈥檚 hugely passionate about our armed forces. Her inspiration for playing the lottery was her friend's son who was killed during service in an IED blast in Afghanistan.
听
鈥淚f he had survived I know that he and his family would have needed so much help and support when he came home, so that鈥檚 why I play, because I know how much of a huge part the Veterans鈥� Foundation plays in providing financial assistance to amazing military charities that help so many.

听鈥淭he military and supporting charity are two things that are strong passions in our family and we all feel it鈥檚 our duty to do our bit.鈥�

Thanks to our loyal Veterans鈥� Lottery players as the funds raised have transformed lives and ensured that those who have served our country receive the help and support they deserve.
