How to Play the UK Lottery
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.
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.
A second way to purchase lottery tickets is on the internet. The player manually enters the lottery numbers online and is then issued a ?virtual? lottery ticket. The player receives the virtual lottery ticket via email. The ticket can then be printed or the lottery numbers can be accessed via a link sent in the email. It is perfectly 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.
Whether you buy your tickets in person or on line, you do not have to select your lottery numbers. In either method, you may opt for “Lucky Dip,” in which the computer selects all six numbers randomly.
Play slips indicate which lottery is desired, whether Wednesday, Saturday, or both. The UK Lottery allows you to use the same set of numbers both nights, and for up to eight weeks per play.

To claim your prize, write you name and address on your UK lottery ticket. It is impossible to claim a prize without a ticket. Then take your winning ticket to any authorized national lottery retailer. If no one wins the jackpot, the prize is rolled over into the next drawing.
If there is no jackpot winner after a fortnight, then the final jackpot is shared among players who matched five of the six lottery numbers, plus the bonus number. This feature of the UK Lottery is known as the Triple Rollover. Playing the national lottery is simple and fun. That’s why it remains one of the most popular lottery games today.
