History of the UK lottery
The UK lottery is the biggest national lottery in the UK. Nowadays, lottery players outside the UK can now have a shot at playing this lottery online.
The UK lottery, just as the name implies, is the official lottery of the United Kingdom. The game started in 1994 and was known as the National Lottery, but later changed to Lotto in 2002. This lottery is franchised by the government of the United Kingdom and the license to operate was given to the Camelot group. All the regulatory operations are done by the gambling commission.
How to choose and play the UK lottery numbers
To play the UK lottery, players have to purchase a UK lottery ticket which entails 6 main numbers from a choice of 1–59.
UK lottery draws are done twice a week where six numbers are randomly selected and a bonus number is selected from the remaining 53 numbers. If the number combination on your ticket matches the main six numbers, you have won the jackpot.
If you played and your ticket numbers did not match the 6 drawn numbers, you still have a chance of winning something as there are prizes for matching 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the numbers drawn.
