Taking place from Saturday 7 to Sunday 15 March 2026, National Lottery Open Week offers funded organisations the opportunity to thank players for their support, acknowledge their funding, and welcome new audiences. Visitors who present a National Lottery ticket, scratchcard or Instant Win Game (physical or digital) can access a special ‘thank you’ offer at participating venues.
Since the first National Lottery draw in 1994, more than £50 billion has been raised for good causes across the arts, heritage, sport, film and community sectors. Open Week is a chance to say #ThanksToYou to the players who help make this work possible.
