The prize fund of £32,200,000 is split into three parts.
6% of which goes to "Higher value prizes" (prizes of £5,000 and above),
5% goes to "Medium value prizes" (£1,000 and £500 prizes), and the final
89% to "Lower value prizes" (£100, £50 and £25 prizes ).
This means it's split into (approximately) the following manner:
