It's really easy. The first step is to visit the Play page, where you can get set up in no time!
Simply select the number of subscriptions you'd like and a selection of numbers will be chosen for you at random. You can change these, if you have some lucky numbers of your own, by clicking 'Edit' and picking five numbers from 1-49. Just like other lotteries, the more numbers you match, the bigger the prize!
Remember, every time you play you're making a difference to young lives across Scotland. A minimum of 20% of all proceeds go to helping The Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust. For more details about prizes and proceeds, visit our More Information page.

Prize Capping
In the Monday and Thursday and Annual Draw, the total Jackpot prize pool will be capped at £100,000. This means that if we have up to 4 ticket entries all matching the 5 Main Numbers, each winning ticket will be awarded a £25,000 Jackpot prize. However, if there are 5 or more winning entries, they will each be awarded an equal share of the £100,000 Jackpot prize pool.
The overall prize pool including all winning categories will be capped at £150,000. This means that the prize of all categories will be reduced in proportion so as to bring the total prize payout to a maximum of £150,000 for any single draw, and we reserve the right to cancel the Fast pick entry prize for matching 2 Main Numbers.
For more details about prizes, proceeds and grants, visit our More Information page..Matching 2 or 3 main numbers, or the bonus ball on ANY line will win you free entries into the Super Friday Raffle! Your free entries will automatically be entered, so you don't need to do anything.

AVOIDING LOTTERY SCAMS
Scammers use emails, phone calls or letters which try to trick you into thinking you've won a lottery prize and may use real or convincing company logos in their emails or letters.
They do this so that they can ask you for money to release the prize or for your personal details, which they can use to try to steal your identity. If you are in any doubt about an email you have received, please do not select any links in it. Instead, type the website address directly into your browser.
It is not necessary to select links in emails we send to you to claim your prizes. Remember that we will never ask you for money to release a prize.
