To play the National Lottery you must choose six numbers between 1 and 49, match all six numbers to the six numbers drawn in the National Lottery draw and win the National Lottery Jackpot. Jackpots start at approximately £2.5 million for each draw and have been known to reach as high as £19 million due to rollover draws.

A rollover is when no tickets match all six numbers in the draw, this causes the jackpot to ‘roll over’ to the next draw pushing it higher and higher. When the lottery jackpot isn’t won for many draws it creates lottery fever pushing the jackpot up even higher.

The National Lottery is run by Camelot and while much of the cash goes back into prizes a great portion of it is put towards charitable donations and donations to the arts and communities. Many of these donations are put forward by the Big Lottery Fund, the charitable branch of the lottery that deals with the lottery good causes.
Players have 180 days after the draw to claim prizes, if prize aren’t claimed within this time then the prize is forfeited and goes back into the good causes fund.

In addition to the main lottery prize smaller prizes are awarded for matching five main numbers and the bonus ball, five numbers without the bonus ball, four numbers and a smaller prize of £10 guaranteed for matching three of the six numbers drawn.
