New lottery
Introducing Bournemouth’s new lottery scheme Have you heard of BH Coastal Lottery? It’s our new weekly lottery that raises money for local charities, voluntary organisations and other good causes in Bournemouth. Councillor Jane Kelly, Cabinet Member for Regeneration said: “We are really excited about the BH Coastal Lottery and how it will benefit local causes. We initiated the lottery as we recognise that as pressures on budgets continue to increase, we need to support our local charitable and voluntary groups. All good causes supported by the lottery will benefit Bournemouth and its residents. The BH Coastal Lottery will attract supporters who are looking to help our local causes with the incentive of winning prizes, including the jackpot of £25,000.”
How the lottery works 60% of ticket sales will go directly to local groups and 20% for prizes, the remaining 20% covers the costs of running the lottery. The lottery is operated by an external lottery manager with experience in running other successful schemes.

How do you play? Each ticket will consist of six numbers and each number will be between 0 and 9. There will be a draw every Saturday night when a six digit winning combination will be picked. Prizes will be given to players with tickets that match the first or last 2-6 numbers from the winning combination. Match all six and you win the jackpot! Tickets for the lottery are available to buy online now. Play the lottery, support Bournemouth - it’s that simple!
