The leading lottery game of the United Kingdom is the UK Lottery, a twice-weekly drawing with possible winners every Wednesday and Saturday. The UK Lottery is a 6 from 29 lottery, which means that the jackpot winner has to match all six numbers to collect the prize. Smaller prizes are awarded to players whose tickets match 3, 4, or 5 of the 6 winning numbers.
In order to play the UK lottery, you must have a ticket. There are two ways to purchase lottery tickets. One way is to go to a national lottery retailer to purchase tickets. The player marks the lottery number selections on a play slip. The play slip is then given to the retailer, who takes the slip and issue a ticket with the selected lottery numbers on it.
Alternatively, you may play the UK Lottery by buying virtual tickets online. In this Internet option, you enter your numbers online and then get a virtual or electronic ticket by email. You may print it out, or access your numbers by a link included in the email. Online purchase is safe and convenient, and there is no extra charge for the service.
It is essential that you use only authorized lottery web sites when you buy virtual tickets. You should keep your user name and passwords safe, and you minimize the risk of being hacked by logging out after you purchase your tickets. This helps ensure that your bank numbers are not compromised by online criminal activity.
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.
Finally, the player needs to make sure their lottery ticket, regardless of where the ticket is purchased, has: The numbers you picked (or Lucky Dip selections), the days you want to play, the correct number of weeks to play, the correct draw dates, a visible bar-coded serial number on the lottery ticket, and an unmarked void box on the lottery ticket
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.
When you buy your ticket in person, make sure the ticket you get back has: Your chosen numbers or the Lucky Dip numbers, the days you want to play, the number of weeks you want to play, and your selected drawing dates. Every valid ticket must also have a visible bar-coded serial number and an unticked void box. - 29852
