Following our 2024 prize structure update of the SMILE lottery, the SSC is committed to reviewing this on an annual basis to ensure we are giving away as much as we can, to as many members as we can, within the regulations set by the Gambling Commission.
Using direction from members we have added to our prize pot, which is outlined below. From Monday 10th August 2025, the monthly prize pot will increase to from £6,000 to £6,500, this will include both a bigger jackpot and 1 additional £250 prize per month.
| £1,500 | £1,000 | £750.00 | £500.00 | 3 x £250 | 4 x £150 | 7 x £100 | 9 x £50 | 10 x £25 | 37 Prizes £6,500 |
Should the lottery income increase or decrease significantly, we will amend prizes accordingly to ensure we are operating within the regulations set by the Gambling Commission.
Each SMILE member can have between 2-12 lottery tickets, which must be purchased in multiples of 2 at 50p each. If you wish to increase the number of lottery tickets you have, please email us to request this at [email protected].
