About This Scratchcard

Christmas Countdown is a £5 scratchcard from the National Lottery with a top prize of £1,000,000. The card is laid out as a grid of 24 individual games, each scratched separately. In each game, players match symbols to win the prize shown, with some symbols offering the chance to double a prize. The format is designed so that each numbered game is played independently, providing multiple opportunities to win across the card. Released in September 2025, Christmas Countdown has overall prize odds of 1 in 3.09 and includes a range of cash prizes alongside the top prize.
