The Rules
Last updated: 15th January 2020
We’ve created Free Cash Lotto (FCL) to be as fun and as simple to enter as possible. The rules below describe how to play. However, if you have any questions at all about how it works - or about the FCL terms of membership/rules - please get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
100% Ad-Funded
You might be wondering how we can give away money for free. It’s simple really. The ads, offers and surveys on the site pay for the lottery prizes that we give away every day or the Lottery line we purchase. A bit like ads in a free newspaper. The draws, competitions and lotteries we run are free to play and always will be!
How do I win the "Daily Draw"?
If your selected balls match our Daily Draw results on Balls 1 & 2, Balls 1 2 & 3 or Balls 1 2 3 & 4 simply click the "Claim FREE Cash" button and complete the claim process (see Daily Draw rules below for more details).
To help you remember we send you a daily reminder email to remind you to check the site before the next Daily Draw.
How do I win the "Play Lotto Free" draw?
To win, firstly you need to submit at least one entry into the "Play Lotto Free" draw. You can submit 1 entry per day up to a maximum of 7 entries per "Play Lotto Free" draw we run.
