"The Weather Lottery has been a simple way for me to donate to Cue and Review while still having the excitement of waiting to see if I can win that £25,000.
Sometimes I do check my numbers online but mainly I just wait for the envelope coming through the door with the cheque. So far I have won a number of £2 cheques and the odd £20. An Aunt did win £200. I gave it a go for 13 weeks and then decided to keep it running. Its simple to do and fun to spend your winnings."

The Weather Lottery is a transparent lottery based on weather temperatures. We use the Daily Mail for the weather temperatures.
Each player chooses 6 numbers between 0 and 9, inclusive.
We match the players chosen numbers against the second digit of temperatures in Fahrenheit in selected destinations around Europe.
The table below shows an example of how the results are arrived at...
| Corfu | Istanbul | Tenerife | Innsbruck | Edinburgh | Stockholm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 83° | 96° | 81° | 77° | 62° | 64° |
| 3 | 6 | 1 | 7 | 2 | 4 |
In the example above, the winning combination based on those temperatures is:
3-6-1-7-2-4
So if a player has chosen those numbers, they would win the maximum prize for the lottery game type they had entered up to £200,000.
To date The Weather Lottery has paid out over £5,000,000 in prizes to 800,000 lucky winners!
When you play on-line, you do so through the HSBC secure e-payments system, so you know that your details are secure.
