Play our weekly lottery
A win for everyone from just £1
Every single time you play the Worldwide Cancer Research lottery, you could win up to £10,000. And every single research project you help fund takes us one step closer to a day when no life is cut short by cancer.
We have funded over £220m of research worldwide since 1979 and cancer survival rates have doubled in that time.
But global funding for discovery research has declined in recent years and we risk losing the cancer cures of the future. Your support can turn the tide.
