The UK Lottery is the main lottery game in the United Kingdom. It is a biweekly game with drawings on Wednesday and Saturday. It is a 6 from 29 lottery, which means the winner needs to match all six numbers in order to win the jackpot. Smaller prizes are given to those who match less than six numbers, including a small prize for those who match three numbers.
In order to play the UK lottery, you must have a ticket. There are two ways to purchase lottery tickets. One way is to go to a national lottery retailer to purchase tickets. The player marks the lottery number selections on a play slip. The play slip is then given to the retailer, who takes the slip and issue a ticket with the selected lottery numbers on it.
Alternatively, you may play the UK Lottery by buying virtual tickets online. In this Internet option, you enter your numbers online and then get a virtual or electronic ticket by email. You may print it out, or access your numbers by a link included in the email. Online purchase is safe and convenient, and there is no extra charge for the service.
It is important that you only use authorized national lottery web sites when you buy virtual tickets. You need to keep your user name and passwords private, and be sure to log out after you purchase your tickets. This ensures that your bank information is safe.
The player also needs to select which lottery draw they want: Wednesday, Saturday or both. You can play the same set of lottery numbers on both nights. You do not need to select different lottery numbers for different nights. In addition, the player also needs to choose how many weeks they want to play. You can play the same set of lottery numbers for up to eight weeks.
Play slips indicate which lottery is desired, whether Wednesday, Saturday, or both. The UK Lottery allows you to use the same set of numbers both nights, and for up to eight weeks per play.
In order to claim a winning prize, write your name and address on the lottery ticket. You cannot claim a prize without the ticket. Then take the ticket to any national lottery retailer. If no one wins, the prize is rolled into the next drawing.
When you buy your ticket in person, make sure the ticket you get back has: Your chosen numbers or the Lucky Dip numbers, the days you want to play, the number of weeks you want to play, and your selected drawing dates. Every valid ticket must also have a visible bar-coded serial number and an unticked void box. - 30202
