Every week, thousands face ovarian cancer – we want to make sure no one feels alone. By entering the On Target Lottery, you’re joining a community that funds vital research, improves early diagnosis, and ensures everyone gets the support they need when they need it most.
How does it work?
Enter our weekly lottery for as little as £1 per week. Every Friday the numbers are drawn, and you'll be in for a chance of winning one of 37 prizes:
- 1st prize: £25,000
- 2nd prize: £1,000
- 5 runner-up prizes of £20
- 10 runner-up prizes of £10
- 20 runner-up prizes of £5
To increase your chances, enter up to five times for a total of £5 per week.
What difference will my entry make?
All the money raised from our weekly lottery will help us to improve early diagnosis, fund life-saving research and provide much-needed support to those affected by ovarian cancer:
- Playing one entry for a year could help over 50 people to learn about the symptoms of ovarian cancer, making sure they know when to visit their GP.
- Playing three entries for a year could help over 20 GPs access our online training modules to update their knowledge on ovarian cancer symptoms and best practice for early diagnosis.
- Playing five entries for a year could fund more than a day of life-saving medical research into new, more effective treatments for the future.
