» What kind of prizes does the UK Lottery offer?
The UK Lottery offers several kinds of draw games and each type offers different amounts as prize money. Some draws offer potentially high rewards (such as Euro-Millions, which often has tens of millions as a jackpot) to smaller games like Thunderball which offers a £250,000 jackpot but gives you a greater chance of winning a prize.
Winning the jackpot does not mean that the entire prize fund is yours. Prizes are divided equally so if someone else has your numbers, then you will take half of that prize money. The more people who match the numbers, the smaller your prize will be.
The traditional Lotto draw, which requires 6 matching numbers, has a variable jackpot, depending on how many people have bought a lottery ticket. The more people that have bought a ticket, the higher the jackpot will be. Normally when a jackpot rolls over, the pot gets bigger and bigger since people are more likely to buy when a jackpot is big. The jackpot is never less than a million pounds. The smallest prize is for matching three numbers and the prize is £10.
Euro-Millions on the other hand tends to have quite high jackpots starting at around £10 million although this amount is variable, like the Lotto draw. As the odds of getting the jackpot – matching five numbers and two lucky stars; are slim, the rollover amounts can push the jackpot to over £100 million pounds. The lower end prizes for Euro-Millions depends on the amount of winners each week and changes depending on this.
Thunderball is won when a person matches numbers from 5 main balls and one thunderball. The Jackpot is £250,000 but it is stated on the official Lottery website that this amount can be less if more than one person matches the number and the prize is shared out. The least you can win is £5 for matching one number and the thunderball.
Lotto Hotpicks is a game where the Lotto draw numbers are used but the player chooses the numbers and the amount of numbers they want to match. Matching one ball to one number wins you £5, but if you match all five, you will win around £130,000.
In one of the newer games, Dream number, it is about matching the Lotto draw number in order to the ones printed on your slip. Matching the first number that comes out with the one your ticket wins you £2. Matching all 7 wins you £500,000.
Finally there is Daily Play. Because of its frequency the prizes are rarely huge. You choose from seven numbers and if you match none, you will get a lucky dip ticket for another day. If you match 4 numbers you get £5 and if you match all seven, you get £30,000.
There are many different games to play with the UK lottery to suit your own style – where prizes are large, the chances of winning are fewer but playing frequently on smaller games gives you a much better chance of winning a prize. Which game is better? That’s for you to decide.
