The UK had never had its own lottery, until 1994 that is when the UK national Lottery was launched and took the country by storm. Tickets cost £1 and have remained at that price since the start of the lottery although the lottery has gone through many other changes since its launch.
Originally a once weekly Lotto the National Lottery has now expanded to twice a week and the draws have expanded too. Although there was just the lottery draw to begin with, now you can play other draws like the Daily Picks, Thunderball, Dream Number plus a whole host of instant win games.
To play the National Lottery you must choose six numbers between 1 and 49, a popular lottery format around the world ensured a tried and trusted lottery game. To win the National Lottery jackpot you will need to match all six of your numbers to the six numbers drawn.
Also in a Uk National Lottery draw a bonus ball is chosen, you will not need this if you match all six numbers but it does become the all important ball if you match five, that’s because matching five and the bonus ball can make the difference of hundreds of thousands of pounds than matching five without the bonus.
Odds of winning the lottery are long but there are many prizes available right down to £10 for matching three numbers, you can play the UK National Lottery at any lottery retailer or at the National Lottery website.
