How to play the £25,000,000 Bonanza! scratch card

Purchase a scratch card at one of the retail locations
The card contains 2 sections – winning numbers and your numbers
Scratch off all scratch areas to reveal numbers
Prizes range from £2.00 to a maximum of £50,000

First of all, scratch both winning numbers and your numbers. If any of the winning numbers matches any of your numbers, you win a prize shown below your matching number.

If you uncover a bag of money symbol, you win the prize below that symbol automatically. What’s more, if you find a wallet symbol, you win all the prizes shown on the scratch card.

Payout of scratch card winnings

You must claim the prize within 180 days of the game closing.

Prizes up to and including £500 – you can claim these amounts from most retailers, but some of them can only pay you a maximum of £50.00.
£500+ up to and including £50,000 – go to the official website national-lottery.co.uk/prize. Once there, you will need to complete the online form to be able to claim the prize. You will be advised when to upload your ticket or scratch card on their website. If you can’t claim your prize in the ways written above and you’re a UK or Isle of Man citizen, post your ticket or scratch card to PO Box 287, Watford WD18 9TT.
£50,000+ – call The National Lottery Line – 0333 234 50 50 (they are open 9am – 8pm from Monday to Saturday; or 9am – 5pm on Sunday) to find out how to claim. Prizes are paid by cheque, bank transfer or direct credit.
