The National Lottery, also known as the UK Lottery or Lotto, has awarded thousands of prizes over £1,000,000 since it was launched in 1994. The largest jackpot prize was a £66 million double rollover shared by two people in January 2016. The draws are done twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday nights (20:00 GMT).
How to Play UK Lottery
Players need to choose 6 numbers from a possible 59. No other number need to be selected from a second set as found in other major lotteries.
UK Lottery Prizes and Odds
To win the jackpot, all 6 chosen numbers need to match all 6 numbers drawn. A bonus ball is also drawn, providing an additional prize tier for players matching the bonus number and 5 numbers. The UK Lottery is limited to only 5 rollovers. If nobody matches all six main numbers after the fifth rollover, the jackpot is shared between every cash prize winner. Given the good odds of the UK lottery, the jackpot will seldom rollover more than once or twice, putting the jackpot rarely rising about the £10 million mark.
