This Christmas, The National Lottery is taking festive fun to the next level — teaming up with Olympic gold medallist and knitting icon Tom Daley to launch something truly unique: the world’s first “Scratchcard-igan.”
Yes, you read that right — it’s a knitted cardigan you can actually scratch to win.
The Scratchcard-igan: Where Cosy Meets Chance
Combining the comfort of a classic Christmas knit with the excitement of a National Lottery Scratchcard, the Scratchcard-igan is a limited-edition creation that brings together playfulness, craftsmanship, and festive spirit.
Each cardigan is designed with cheerful, holiday-inspired patterns — but hidden beneath its scratchable panels could be something even more magical. If you reveal the word “WIN,” you’ll unwrap a festive prize of £500.
Only 100 Scratchcard-igans have been made, making this one of the most exclusive — and playful — Christmas jumpers of the season. Think of it as part fashion statement, part festive game, and part collectible.
How to Get Your Hands on One
Want to score a Scratchcard-igan of your own (and maybe £500 too)? Here’s how:
-
Head to @tnluk on Instagram.
-
Comment “Cher” on the pinned post between 10th and 30th November.
-
Keep your fingers crossed — winners will receive their one-of-a-kind cardigan from 1st December.
With only 100 available, these are sure to go faster than mince pies on Christmas Eve.
Tom Daley on His Cosy New Collaboration
Speaking about the project, Tom Daley said:
“I’ve made a few cardigans in my time, but I’ve never seen one quite like this! Knitting has always been a way for me to spread joy and creativity, and teaming up with The National Lottery lets me do that in a wonderfully festive way. The Scratchcard-igan feels like the kind of thing that could easily become part of people’s Christmas traditions – playful, cheerful and a reminder that a little everyday fun can go a long way. I can’t wait to see people wearing theirs and scratching their way to some holiday cheer!”
Given Daley’s passion for knitting — from his own handmade knitwear line Made With Love by Tom Daley to viral crafting videos — this collab feels like the perfect blend of creativity, comfort, and Christmas spirit.
A Playful Twist on the Classic Christmas Jumper
The Scratchcard-igan isn’t just a cardigan — it’s a celebration of the season’s joy, spontaneity, and togetherness. With The National Lottery’s mission to “add some play to Christmas,” this limited-edition release is a reminder that a little festive fun can go a long way.
So, if you’re ready to add some play to your Christmas wardrobe, head to The National Lottery’s Instagram and comment “Merry Scratchmas” before 30th November. You might just end up with the most talked-about knit of the season — and a little extra cash to make your holidays even brighter.
