The Easy Ways to Play the UK Lottery

By Tom Martens

The United Kingdom's main lottery game is the UK Lottery, a twice-a-week game with drawings every Wednesday and Saturday. It is a 6 from 29 lottery, meaning the lucky winner must match all six numbers to win the grand prize. Smaller winnings are given to those whose tickets match at least 3 numbers.

Every player must have a ticket. Most participants in the UK Lottery get their tickets for authorized national lottery retailers in person. Mark you selections on a play slip, and then give the play slip to the retailer. The retailer then generates a ticket for you with your selected numbers on it.

An alternative way to play the UK Lottery is via the World Wide Web. To use the Internet option, you enter lottery numbers online and are then issues a "virtual" ticket. The virtual ticket arrives by email. You may print it out, or access your numbers by a link included in the email. It is both safe and legal to purchase lottery tickets online.

Make sure you use an authorized national lottery web site when you buy your tickets, keep your user name and password protected and log out after you purchase your tickets. This helps to ensure that your personal information is protected and safe. In both cases, the player doesn't have to select the lottery numbers. Instead, the player can opt for the "Lucky Dip" option, in which all six lottery numbers are randomly selected for the player.

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 must indicate which lottery is desired, whether Wednesday, Saturday, or both. The UK Lottery permits you to use the same set of numbers both nights, and, indeed, to use the same numbers for up to eight weeks.

If there is no lottery winner after four consecutive draws, then the final jackpot is shared between players who matched five of the six lottery numbers, plus the bonus number. This is called a Triple Rollover. Playing the UK Lottery is both easy and fun. That's why it remains one of the most popular lottery drawings today.
