national-lottery.co.uk is the official website of the United Kingdom's state-franchised National Lottery. The lottery was established in 1994 and is currently operated by Allwyn Entertainment, which took over from Camelot Group on February 1, 2024. The primary purpose of the National Lottery is to raise money for good causes across the UK, with over £30 million being raised on average each week. This funding is distributed to projects in sectors such as health, education, the environment, arts, sports, and heritage. Since its inception, players have raised over £50 billion for these causes. The website offers a variety of games for players aged 18 and over. These include draw games like Lotto, EuroMillions, Set For Life, Thunderball, Lotto HotPicks, and EuroMillions HotPicks. Each of these games has different draw days, prize structures, and ticket costs. The site also features a wide array of online Instant Win Games, which are similar to digital scratchcards. These games offer prizes up to £1 million and have varying play costs and odds. In addition to online play, the website provides a comprehensive resource for checking results for both current and past draws. Players can also find information on how to claim prizes, including for physical tickets purchased in stores, which can be scanned using the official National Lottery app. The website promotes responsible play with dedicated sections and links to support organizations like GamCare. It highlights the "Dream Big Play Small" ethos, encouraging many people to play a little rather than a few playing a lot. The website is a central hub for all National Lottery activities, from purchasing tickets and checking results to discovering the projects that benefit from the funds raised by players across the UK.
