I was lucky enough to win £800 on a lucky dip last night. Do this need to be declared to UC. I get paid too from UC next week and I’m well below £6k.

It's classed as capital (savings) and, no, you don’t need to declare it to UC as you are below the £6000 threshold.
Well done on your win. Enjoy it! 🤝

My bank balance changes daily, so if we had to declare our current balance I would be doing a change of circumstances every day.

As I've already said. You DO NOT need to declare your win. 👍
