To play the UK Lotto, you select six numbers from 1 to 59, with draws held every Wednesday and Saturday.

Each line of numbers costs £2.00, and you can play a single draw or choose to enter your numbers for several weeks in advance.

Players may submit multiple lines at once, with up to seven lines per slip and 10 slips at a time.

In each draw, six main numbers and one Bonus Ball are chosen at random, and prizes are awarded for matching at least two main numbers.

Special “Must Be Won” draws ensure that if no one wins the jackpot, the prize money is rolled down and shared among players who matched two or more numbers, increasing their winnings.

Tickets can be purchased either in-store from retailers or online through the National Lottery website.
