How to Play the UK Lottery

By Tom Martens

Though you are new to UK lottery, you should not complain about playing. You have to first familiarize yourself with the nuances of the lottery and soon you'll be a master of it.

If you'd like to begin playing lotto games online there are many to choose from including uroMillions, Lotto and Dream Number as well as a selection of instant win games.

EuroMillions consistently offers huge jackpots thanks to the participation of nine European countries. Jackpots usually start at 9 million and grow as the jackpot goes unclaimed. You play by selecting five main numbers, 1-50, and 2 Lucky Star numbers, 1-9. You can play up to four lines on a single play slip or up to five slips with multiple tickets. You can play the same numbers for as many as four weeks. All you have to do is match three numbers in the correct combination to win from one of the 12 prize levels. If you match the five main numbers and the two Lucky Star numbers you win (or share) the jackpot!

Generally tickets for the EuroMillions are sold everyday until 11 p.m but for the fridays when tickets are sold till 7 p.m. You can watch the results on BBC One at 11:35 p.m on fridays or the results are readily available online from 10 p.m onwards.

Lotto works in the same fashion. You can pick your own numbers, 1 to 49, or play online, choosing "Lucky Dip" for random number generation. One play slip has up to seven lines of numbers, multiple tickets have up to 35 lines. You can choose how many weeks you want to play, and which draws. Up to eight weeks can be played, starting with the next draw date. Winnings will be determined by the number of matches on you card

You can also play Dream Number on your Lotto play slip or by itself. The Dream Number is a 7-digit number that gives you the chance to win up to 500,000. There are scores of Instant Win games including those based on Scrabble, Monopoly and those based on upcoming holidays and events. Prizes range from 8,000 to 100,000 and more. Playing is simple and winnings are, obviously, instant!

By learning some of the terms you can get even more comfortable with playing the lottery. Here are a few you should know. A bearer instrument is any item, paper lottery tickets included, that gives the person possessing it the right of ownership. The person who has it in their possession, regardless of who bought the ticket, has claim to any prize won.

Bonus Ball - An additional number selected after the primary numbers are drawn, as in the UK Lotto game. It has no bearing on the winning jackpot number, but can earn a better prize for the runner-up.

RNG - A random number generator, or RNG, is a computer program that creates a completely random sequence of numbers. When a jackpot is not won it is considered a rollover, which will then usually be added to the next jackpot.
