In 2012, England will take on another great responsibility, hosting the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. This great honor of bringing the world together will not be successful without the combined efforts of the country and its people. Here's how you can help, play the Dream Number lottery game. The National Lottery is helping raise funds for this huge event. In a single ticket purchase of £1, a good 28p goes to the fund, your contribution to help make UK's Olympic dreams come true.

When you buy a standard lotto ticket, a set of 7 randomly generated dream numbers come along with it. It can be played together with your lotto numbers or as a stand alone game. If you have an online account, you can replace it by clicking on the Lucky Dip button. Your single ticket can be played for both Wednesday and Saturday draws for a maximum of 8 weeks. To win, all you have to do is just cross your fingers and hope that your numbers will match exactly those that are drawn, in the same order.

Signing up for a National Lottery account is safe and secure. A section where you can view the recent Dream Number results is also provided to those who missed watching the live draw on BBC One. You can even buy tickets and play as soon as you signed up. Prize funds are fixed; therefore there is no rollover jackpot if the maximum top prize of £500,000 is not won. However, it also increases your chance of winning, starting at £2 for one matching number, £10 for two, £100 for three, £500 for four, £5,000 for five and £50,000 for six matched numbers. The amount may also vary depending on the number of winners. To see if you have the winning ticket, go to the Dream Number checker section of this page.

May the winning Olympic spirit be with you!
