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.

You cannot play the UK Lottery without a ticket. You may obtain your ticket from a national lottery retailer in person. You mark your selections on a play slip, and give the play slip to the retailer. The retailer issues a ticket with your 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.

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 online or at a retailer, it is not essential that you choose your own numbers. Either online or in person, you can use "Lucky Dip" and the UK Lottery computer will select all six numbers for you randomly.

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

Every player must make sure their play slip has: Your selected numbers (or a tick in the box for the Lucky Dip random selections), the days you want to play, the number of weeks you want to play, and the correct draw dates. The ticket you get back must reflect this information and have both a visible bar-coded serial number and an unmarked void box.

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.

To claim a prize, write your name and address on your ticket. If you buy a ticket from a retailer, it is impossible to claim your prize without the ticket. Take your winning ticket to any national lottery retailer. If no one wins the jackpot in any given drawing, then the prize money is rolled over until the next draw.
