Warning: Bogus awards

Have you been told you have won a prize from the Heritage Lottery Fund? We do not operate a Lottery or distribute prizes. We only make grants in response to applications. So, if you receive an email telling you that you have won a prize, it has not come from us. No lottery that asks for payment in order to claim a prize belongs to either the HLF or the UK National Lottery.

Our advice is that you exercise caution and do not part with your money or give your details to an unknown party or company and check the lottery’s legal status first.
