Though there are currently six different gamesoffered by the National Lottery, it's the main Lotto draws on Saturdays, and to a lesser extent Wednesdays, that attract the most attention, with up to 45 million tickets sold for each draw.

Playing the UK National Lottery is very easy, with players able to buy tickets online, in the many Amazon stores or in various shops across the country before the draws, the results of which are shown live via the website and on TV.

Let's take a closer look at how to play the National Lottery's main Lotto game.

The first step players must take in order to play the National Lottery's Lotto draw is to buy tickets. Luckily, this is very easy to do. Lotto tickets can be bought from almost all supermarkets, newsagents, petrol stations and the Post Office. In addition, players have the option of opening an account at the National Lottery website and buying their tickets online.

Though the cost to play one line in the Lotto draw used to be just £1, the National Lottery increased this to £2 in 2013.

Note that to be eligible to play the National Lottery draw games, you must be 18 or over, a resident in the UK or Isle of Man and physically present in the country when purchasing your ticket.

Number Selection

Lotto draws take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with the results of each determined by an automatic drawing machine that mixes the numbered balls and selects the winning numbers at random.

Six main numbersare drawn from the set of 59 balls numbered 1 to 59.

In order to play in the Lotto, you need to buy a lottery ticket, which means you'll need to choose which numbers you think will emerge from the draw. For each line on the ticket, choose six numbers from 1 to 59. If you can't decide, you can choose the Lucky Dip option to have six numbers chosen for you at random.

During each Lotto draw, six main numbers are randomly selected by the machine, but after those six have been selected, an additional Bonus Ball number is also chosen at random from the remaining 53 numbered balls in the machine.

The purpose of this Bonus Ball is to give those who have matched five numbers an extra chance of winning a life-changing sum of money, with the prize for matching five numbers plus the Bonus Ball being significantly more than the prize for matching just five numbers (see prize breakdown further down).

Players don't need to do anything extra to play for a Bonus Ball prize as the six selected numbers in the ticket could each be chosen as the Bonus Ball. The Bonus Ball prize only applies to tickets with five matching numbers.

How many are prizes in the National Lottery's Lotto draw? Lotto prizes range from a Lucky Dip ticket at the bottom end of the scale all the way up to the jackpot prize at the top end, which can reach several million pounds.

Here's a breakdown of all the prizes for the National Lottery's Lotto draws:

The Free Lucky Dip prize is credited as a Lucky Dip entry for the next Lotto draw.

If there is more than one jackpot winner, the jackpot is split equally between the winners. The other prizes used to follow the same pattern but currently, they are paid out as set amounts.

In the event that no one wins the main jackpot prize in a Lotto draw, the jackpot is added to the next Lotto draw's jackpot fund. This is called a rollover.

Rollovers can happen a maximum of five times before the accumulated funds are shared across the various prize breakdowns in a Must be Won draw in the event that there are still no jackpot winners.

It's much more common for rollovers to occur on Wednesday Lotto draws compared to Saturday draws due to the fact that fewer tickets are sold for the former.

Rollovers can see the jackpot amounts increase dramatically, making them particularly attractive.

The National Lottery's operating company, Camelot Group, is also responsible for running the popular EuroMillions draw in which residents of eligible countries including the UK, Ireland, Spain, France and Portugal can play for cash prizes.

EuroMillions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday, but up to three times a year, one draw is chosen as a Superdraw with a bumper jackpot of at least £100 million!

パチスロ 旅

The base jackpot amount is £2 million for Wednesday Lotto draws and £3.8 million for Saturday Lotto draws, but due to rollovers, these amounts can increase as it's quite common for draws to take place that results in no jackpot winners.

Since there can only be a maximum of five rollovers before a Must Be Won draw takes place, these special draws have an estimated jackpot value of £11 million on Wednesdays and £12 million on Saturdays.

The biggest ever jackpot won by a UK lottery player was the £170.2 million EuroMillions jackpot, which had reached its jackpot cap on October 8, 2019.

Before that, the holders of the largest UK lottery jackpot payout were Colin and Chris Weir from Ayrshire, Scotland, who won just over £161 million in the EuroMillions draw of July 12, 2011.

Though the Lotto jackpots are significantly smaller than the EuroMillions jackpots, they are still life-changing, as David and Carol Martin, the two lucky winners of the biggest Lotto jackpot amount to just over £33 million can testify.

Remember this lottery is available only for gamblers coming from the UK.

There are several ways to check the results of the National Lottery's Lotto draws to see if you've won a prize. Following the draw as it happens used to be the most popular way of finding out the results when the draws were still broadcast with some fanfare on TV.

However, these days it's much more common to check the Lotto results by visiting the Results page on the National Lottery website. If you're a member of the National Lottery website and have bought your Lotto tickets online, there is an option to allow the site to email you if you've won a prize, which is a handy feature that many players take advantage of.

You can also find Lotto results appearing in many printed newspapers and their associated websites, although the best and most reliable option is to check with the National Lottery directly.

The National Lottery website is the best place to go for buying Lotto tickets at a time that suits you (before each draw's cutoff time of 7.30 pm and within the site's active hours of 6 am to 11 pm, that is).

However, in 2017 Camelot Group also developed and released an app for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, allowing players to buy tickets and check results on the go.

Available on the App Store and Google Play and linked to directly from the National Lottery website, the National Lottery app lets you buy tickets for all the major draws: Lotto, EuroMillions, Thunderball and Set For Life.

In addition, there's a range of instant games such as online scratch cards that can be played via the app.

Another feature that's unique to the app is the ticket scanning function, which allows you to scan shop-bought tickets to check for winning matches.

It's important to realise that playing draw-based games like those offered by the National Lottery is still gambling and as such, the operator is required by law to keep a close eye on all activity on their website and mobile app to ensure player safety and fulfil their duties in terms of responsible gaming.

One of the actions that the National Lottery can take is to suspend your account. This can be done for several reasons including the discovery of duplicate accounts, exceeding deposit and/or play limits or entering the wrong payment details.

Note that there is a play limit of £500 per week and if you exceed this you can expect to find your account suspended and inaccessible for a period of three months.

These measures are in place to protect players from developing problem gambling habits and prevent fraud, so make sure you're aware of them.

The UK's National Lottery is about much more than just giving people the chance to win life-changing sums of money. While 53% of the total National Lottery funds go towards the prizes, 25% goes to a range of charities and other benevolent organisationsas determined by the government.

Another 12% of funds go directly to the government in the form of lottery duty, 4% goes to retailers and Camelot takes 5%, of which 4% covers operating costs, leaving 1% as profit for the group.

Many people wonder if you can expect the taxman to take a chunk of your National Lottery winnings. Luckily, in the UK, National Lottery prizes are paid in a lump sum (except Set For Life prizes, which are paid monthly) and are tax-free!

As a state-funded lottery, the National Lottery has a long history of advertising on traditional mediaand in recent times, more modern media too.

It's common for adverts for upcoming draws, especially those with larger than usual jackpots, to be broadcast on various radio stations and on TV. Though the BBC operates on a TV licence structure rather than through selling advertising space, since the corporation hosted the draws up until very recently, they promoted them between programmes too.

Now that the National Lottery draws are being hosted by ITV, there are standalone adverts for them on the advertising-backed channel.

Since the launch of the National Lottery's website, the brand has also used online advertising as a way of reaching a wider audience.

National Lottery adverts have had a variety of themes over the years, with many of them featuring well-known celebrities as a way of drawing attention. The focus of these adverts is usually either playing a little to potentially win a lot or playing as a way of donating to worthy causes.

Christmas is always an exciting time of year but things can get even more thrilling when it comes to the National Lottery. The standard Lotto draw doesn't tend to change very much for the festive season in terms of jackpot payouts, unless there's been a rollover, of course.

However, the live show that surrounds the draw is often dressed up in Christmas decorations to make the event feel even more special, especially if the draw happens to fall on Christmas Day.

The National Lottery owned EuroMillions draw has its own separate additional draws, one of which is the UK Millionaire Maker, and it's this one that is quite often inflated for Christmas with the jackpot amounts boostedin many cases and more millionaires drawn than usual. In addition to the cash prizes, luxury trips and holidays are quite often awarded around Christmas too.

Since the launch of the National Lottery back in November 1994 right up until April 2021, people aged 16 and over were permitted to buy lottery tickets. This stood true for scratch cards too once they were launched in March 1995.

However, from April 22, 2021, anyone buying either lottery tickets or scratch cards, whether online or offline, must be at least 18 years old, bringing the UK's National Lottery in line with other gambling services operating within the country under the UK Gambling Commission's remit.

The rule change means that traditional lottery ticket retailers such as supermarkets and newsagents are tasked with ensuring consumers are of the required legal age. As such, you may be asked to show proof of age when buying your tickets at retailers.

Buying tickets online requires you to open an account on the National Lottery's website and part of the sign-up process requires you to verify your age in line with the regulations. If you're found to be underage, you could face having your account closed and any winnings removed.

The UK's National Lottery has remained largely a success since its inception in 1994 when it burst onto British TV screens on that first Saturday night and every one thereafter, giving the average Joe Public the chance to win life-changing sums of money. You can also play this game on many GamStop casino websites if you feel you can lose control.

Though it's had its ups and downs over the years, including a fair amount of criticism, overprize breakdowns, machine hiccups and their choice of 'good causes', it remains a much-loved part of UK culture.

Starting off as just a single draw on a Saturday night, the National Lottery has expanded to offer a variety of draws on almost every day of the week. The brand has also created its own wide and ever-growing range of scratch cards that don't require you to wait for a draw to find out whether or not you're a winner.

Thanks to modern technology, you can now play National Lottery draw games online via the website or on your smartphone or tablet, making them even more accessible than ever. And with multiple millions up for grabs almost every day, who could resist?
