Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if no one wins the Lotto jackpot?
If the Lotto jackpot reaches a “Must Be Won” stage and no player matches all six main numbers, a “Rolldown” occurs. The jackpot is then shared among all other prize winners who have matched two or more main numbers, significantly increasing the value of smaller prizes.
How much of my ticket money goes to prizes?
For every £1 spent on a National Lottery ticket, approximately 45p is allocated to the total prize pool for that specific draw. The remainder is distributed between Good Causes, government lottery duty, and retailer commissions.
Can I win a prize with only one number and the Bonus Ball?
No. To win a prize on the UK National Lottery Lotto draw, you must match at least two main numbers. Matching one main number and the Bonus Ball does not currently qualify for a prize tier.
How are European Millionaire Maker prizes paid in the UK?
The European Millionaire Maker prize is set at €1,000,000. For winners in the United Kingdom, this amount is converted into Sterling and topped up by the operator, Allwyn, to ensure the total prize awarded is exactly £1,000,000.
