It’s a great opportunity to support Cerebra and the chance to win big! Each ticket costs £1.20 per week and 80p of that goes to the great work Cerebra do for children and families affected by brain conditions. It’s open to all residents of GB who are aged 18 or over.

It’s easy and only takes a few minutes. Each ticket costs just £1.20 per draw. Select how many tickets you want to play per week, up to a maximum of five lines when playing online. Then enter your details to set up your monthly Direct Debit.

You can find the full terms and conditions of Cerebra’s Count Me In Lottery here. You will be prompted to read and agree to these terms and conditions when signing up to play online.

Participants may purchase more than one ticket for each weekly draw, up to a maximum of five when playing online. You can enter up to 10 (ten) tickets in the draw each week by calling our lottery helpline on 01267 244218.

When you purchase a ticket, a unique number will be generated, by random selection through secure computer software. This number will be issued to you by post. The number allocated will remain the same for the period of the person’s participation.

Every ticket costs £1.20 per draw, per week. So if you play one ticket per week, for instance, you will pay £4.80 or £6 a month. If you play more than one line per week, your Direct Debit will increase to reflect this, for example, if you play two lines per week, you will pay £9.60 or £12 per month.

The payment is collected on the first working day of each month. Sorry, we are unable to change the date that payments are collected

It costs just £1.20 per ticket to play Cerebra’s Count Me Lottery each week. So, if you play one ticket per week in a month with four Thursdays, £4.80 will be debited from your account. Some calendar months are made up of five Thursdays with five draws taking place instead of four, so the cost for that month will be £6. Your Direct Debit will only be collected once a month but, depending upon the number of weeks within that month, your payment will vary. Don’t worry, we will send you a payment schedule for the whole year when you first sign up, so you’ll know how much will be collected each month

One lucky winner wins a cash prize of £1,500.

The prize money is funded by the income we receive from our generous supporters of the ‘Count Me In’ Lottery. This makes up a very small part of the total income raised each week, the Lottery is Cerebra’s biggest fundraiser so the services that benefit children with brain conditions receive the overwhelming majority of the funds raised.

Unfortunately, they’re not eligible for Gift Aid – but a single donation is eligible.

The winning number for each draw will be chosen at random using a computerised system from all entries received by the closing date.

The winner of the Lottery prize will be notified in the first instance by telephone and then by post or email. Participants can call Cerebra on 01267 244218 or visit the website www.cerebra.org.uk for a list of winners.

The Charity will send winners their prizes automatically. Tickets paid for by Direct Debit shall have the winning amount of £1,500 transferred via BACS to the entrant’s account from which the Direct Debit is paid from. In all other instances the prize will be paid by cheque.

Cerebra’s ‘Count Me In’ Lottery provides funding for children with brain conditions to discover a more inclusive life with their families. Over the next five years we will be supporting research to help families whose children have multiple and complex needs or poorly understood brain conditions. The key areas will be in (but not limited to): Pregnancy, Family Research, Legal Entitlements, Mental Health, Sleep and Creative Design.
