The UK's first National Lottery was Believe it or not, way back in 1569. It eventually died out, then resurrected as an annual event between c. 1750 and 1826.

Ever since then, it's not been possible to buy a National Lottery ticket here in the UK until the launch of the current UK National Lottery on Monday 14th November 1994. Why ? Well, a lot of people blame the soccer pools companies for putting pressure to preserve their status as the only way of winning more than a million pounds in this country.

National Lottery

Camelot Group HQ
The National Lottery of the UK is one of the most popular and well-known tax free, lump sum lotteries in the world.

It is administered by the Camelot Group plc; who were awarded the license to run the UK National Lotto in May 1994 and have been doing a great job ever since the very first draw on 19th November 1994.

The Camelot Group itself began as a consortium of 4 separate shareholders, all established companies in themselves. This makes the British national lottery quite unique among the euro lottery and global lottery world as it is run by private companies and is not state-run.

The Lottery Commission regulates all UK national lotto operations and looks after the interests of lottery players and the UK's interests in the lottery.

In 2002, as a measure to fight a reduction in sales figures, this lottery was rebranded as Lotto and has enjoyed an even stronger market position since.

Over the years, more and more games have been added to the UK lottery portfolio and together, these games are still collectively known as the National (UK) Lottery, with the main draw being the UK Lotto.

These other games in Camelot's portfolio include Lotto Hotpicks, Thunderball, Dream Number, Daily Play, Euromillions & scratchcards.

UK National Lotto - Overview

UK Lotto The UK Lotto is the main jackpot style game offered by the UK National Lottery - it is a traditional 6/49 game that is so popular, it is played by the majority of the British population. The UK Lotto is the game that creates more millionaires in Britain than any other.

The jackpot for the UK Lotto usually starts at around £4.5 million and rolls over each time the jackpot is not won. This is then added onto the following draw's jackpot and increases in size each draw until somebody wins it when it will revert to the starting jackpot sum of approx. £4.5 million.

The National Lotto began as a once per week draw on Saturdays but as popularity grew and more people play UK Lottery it began a Wednesday draw on 5th February 1997. The UK Lotto produces jackpots that can reach huge figures and has reached £42 million in the past.

How It Works...

UK National Lotto Logo
The UK National Lottery uses what's known as a 6/49 matrix - which means that when you play UK Lottery, you need to select 6 numbers from a pool of numbers from 1 to 49 - if you match all 6 numbers drawn then you will be a jackpot winner.

As well as the 6 main numbers, a 7th number is drawn. This is the bonus number and is drawn after the 6 main numbers.

In addition to the jackpot itself, there are 4 other ways in which you can win when you play UK Lottery - with prizes to be won if you match either 5 main numbers plus the bonus number, 5 main numbers, 4 main numbers or even just 3 main numbers.

A Lucky Dip facility is available when playing the UK Lotto - very much similar to the Quick Pick facility that is used in many USA & Canadian lotteries - which means that you can ask the lottery retailer or computer to randomly select all your National Lottery numbers for you.

So, when you play UK Lottery it is easy…just select your own 6 numbers or request them to be randomly generated for you by using the Lucky Dip option or you can ....
