Gift Responsibly

National Lottery games could be the perfect little gift, particularly for people who may be hard to buy for. When purchasing a National Lottery product (which might win a fantastic prize), it comes with the added bonus of raising money for National Lottery-funded projects.

When giving National Lottery draw tickets or Scratchcards as a gift, purchasers need to consider who they are gifting to and ensure they are always gifting responsibly – people need to be 18+ to buy, gift, receive and play – and to claim a prize. Responsible gifting is in line with Allwyn’s commitment to protecting players and operating in a socially responsible way.

Our approach to gift responsibly:

National Lottery products are only to be gifted to those aged 18+. Our retail partners are trained not to allow under-18s to redeem prizes in store. They are also trained not to allow underage purchases, which retailers are tested on via our nationwide mystery shopping programme.

Purchasers must not gift National Lottery products excessively to individuals and should keep in mind that a purchase limit of 10 Scratchcards per transaction applies in stores.

Purchasers should aim not to gift National Lottery products to anyone who may find the gift inappropriate for any reason.
