Why Play This Lottery

UK Lotto has been making millionaires since 1994 — and it keeps right on doing it twice a week, every week. The jackpot has hit over GBP 66 million in a single draw.

Wednesday and Saturday draws bring two chances per week to match six numbers and walk away wealthy. And with the Must Be Won rule, every jackpot is guaranteed to pay out.

This is the lottery that Britain has loved for three decades. Step up, pick your numbers, and join millions of players chasing the next big UK jackpot.

What Can You Win?

Six prize tiers, two draws a week, jackpots starting at GBP 2 million. UK Lotto is simple, rewarding, and delivers real prizes at every level.

Match five plus the Bonus Ball and collect a prize that could easily run to six figures. Match five without the bonus and still take home a guaranteed GBP 1,750.

Even a two-number match wins you another chance — a free Lucky Dip. UK Lotto keeps giving back at every tier, which is why Britain keeps playing every Wednesday and Saturday.

How It Works

Six numbers from 1 to 59. Match them all and the jackpot is yours. UK Lotto is the draw that has made more British millionaires than any other lottery.

The Bonus Ball adds an extra layer of excitement to every draw — it could turn a five-number match into a second-tier prize worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

GBP 2 a line, two draws a week, a jackpot starting at GBP 2 million. The value is undeniable — and the Must Be Won rule means the jackpot always pays out eventually.

Play with Crypto

Play Britain's most beloved lottery with Bitcoin, Ethereum, or your preferred cryptocurrency. Crypto breaks down every geographic barrier between you and a UK jackpot.

No UK bank account needed. Deposit crypto, grab your six numbers, and join millions of British players in the Wednesday and Saturday draws.

Win UK Lotto online, cash out in crypto. Your GBP jackpot can be yours in digital form, fast and without the usual banking bureaucracy.

Draw Times

Wednesday and Saturday, 7:45 PM UK time — two draws, two shots at the jackpot, every single week. The midweek and weekend draws both carry the same excitement.

Sales close at 7:30 PM on draw nights. Get your ticket in early and then tune in for the live draw. The anticipation in those 15 minutes is half the experience.

Results are live immediately after the draw. UK Lotto has been doing this since 1994 — the machine runs like clockwork, and so does the thrill.
