Every ticket you buy will go towards saving lives. It ensures RNLI lifeboat crews around the UK are ready, 24/7, whenever an emergency arises and helps our lifeguards keep thousands of beachgoers safe. It provides our lifesavers with essential training, kit and equipment – all crucial to their safety and the conditions they face. And it inspires our family of volunteers and staff who work tirelessly to raise awareness and funds, both vital to the future of our lifesaving service and our goal of reducing drowning.

In 2023 the RNLI received £2,889,141 in Lifeboat Lottery ticket sales and 75% of money raised by the Lifeboat Lottery went directly towards the RNLI contributing towards its lifesaving mission, 2% on prizes and 23% on expenses.
