About UK Lotto

UK Lotto is the United Kingdom National Lottery's premier lottery game. UK Lotto offers both huge multi-million-dollar jackpots and terrific lower-tier cash prizes.

UK Lotto is perhaps the most popular lotto-style game in the world, as it awards all of its prizes — including the jackpot — in a tax-free lump-sum cash payment, and uses the popular 6/49 style of play.

Every Wednesday and Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. GMT (3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time), the UK Lottery draws six lottery balls out of a drum with 49 balls. Players can win the jackpot by matching all six numbers drawn, or lesser cash prizes by matching five, four, or three of the numbers drawn (see UK Lotto Prizes and Odds below).

The jackpot is paid as a lump sum payment. There are no taxes withheld on any UK Lottery prize, including the jackpot.

The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately 1 in 53.
