It has captivated lottery enthusiasts with its simple yet thrilling format and the potential for substantial winnings. Drawings are held twice a week, providing ample opportunities for participants to try their luck.
Draw format
To play the UK Lotto, you need to pick six numbers from a pool of 1 to 59. You can choose your numbers manually or opt for a Lucky Dip, where the numbers are randomly generated for you. The draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday at 7:45 PM GMT.</p> During each draw, six main numbers and one bonus number are drawn. The bonus number is used to determine certain secondary prizes but does not impact the jackpot. The more numbers you match, the bigger your prize. To win the jackpot, you must match all six main numbers.
