How to Play

Pick 5 numbers between 1 to 50 and 2 lucky stars just like EuroMillions. But when you win you get over 50% more on the 10 easiest to win prize levels. Exclusive to UK customers, all prize levels are guaranteed, no matter how many win.

There is the same overall 1 in 24 chance of winning because you can win in the same 12 different ways:

GB Lotto is played weekly and each draw closes midnight Friday.

GB Lotto is in no way connected to the National Lottery Euromillions game.

Why are the prizes so good?
Firstly, GB Lotto gives more money back to you with a higher percentage of your stake returned as prizes than the National Lottery. Your first five numbers are unique to you - nobody else can have those selections, which means you don't have to share the prizes. Also the top jackpot prize is capped at £1 million with more prize money allocated to the easier to win prize levels.

How to Win
The great thing about GB Lotto is that when you have played your worries are over - we check your numbers, send you the results of each game via e-mail and tell you when you win. You just sit back and decide how to spend the money!

Just like Euromillions there are 12 ways to win, as shown above, from the £1 million jackpot for getting all 5 numbers plus the two star numbers correct, down to £10.50 for 2 of the main numbers correct plus a star number.

GB Lotto uses the numbers generated in the "Mega Millions" and "Win 4" games offered by the New York Lottery. For full details on how the results are generated, please click this link.

Results are available on this website or you can check them yourself on the New York Lottery's official site. But remember you don't have to check the results yourself - we will e-mail you with results and to tell you when you win!
